Welcome to CHES Online
The Center for Human Evolutionary Studies (CHES) at Rutgers, The State
University of New Jersey, constitutes one of the world's leading
research, teaching, and training programs in the study of the evolution
of human behavior.
Our strengths lie in our multidisciplinary approach
to this study, our world-class faculty and research associates,
and our highly competitive graduate and undergraduate students, including a
number of foreign students from the countries in which some of our
research projects are based.
We also enjoy access to some of the world's
premier localities for the study of our closest living primate relatives,
and for the investigation of the fossilized remains and
archaeological traces of our early human ancestors.
The Department of Anthropology established
The Center for Human Evolutionary Studies (CHES) in 1996. The Center's primary mission is the discovery,
teaching and public dissemination of knowledge on
the origin, evolution, and biological and ecological bases
of human behavior.
The Center includes faculty from
the Department of Anthropology with expertise
in all
facets of human evolutionary studies, including prehistoric
archaeology,
hominid and primate paleontology
and
functional anatomy, primatology, social
evolutionary theory,
and paleoecology.
