IBS Affiliate and Assistant Professor of Anthropology, William Taylor, was one of two CU Boulder anthropologists to receive the National Science Foundation CAREER award. Taylor, who is also the CU Museum of Natural History archaeology curator, received a $419,696 grant for his research project “Understanding Animal Domestication and Human-Environmental Relationships.”
“[This award] is a tremendous honor and a huge step forward in our scientific investigation of the past. Ancient Mongolia was deeply intertwined with so many parts of the story of animal domestication, from dogs to horses, reindeer, and beyond. It’s exciting we will be able to start exploring that with our interdisciplinary team at CU over the years ahead,” says Taylor.
