Dr. Jacqueline Eng is a biological anthropologist in the Department of Biological Sciences at 蜜桃社区 Michigan University with research interests in the health of ancient human populations as revealed by their skeletal and dental remains. Through this bioarchaeological perspective, Eng has conducted osteological research on hunter-gatherer populations in California, Viking Age and Conversion Age inhabitants of Iceland, post-medieval peasants from Transylvania, and numerous societies from China's northern frontier that date from the Neolithic to the Mongolian Dynasty.
As a member of the Global History of Health Project, Eng has also contributed to this NSF- and NIH-funded investigation of the history of human health over the past 10,000 years.
Regional focus: East Asia (China and Mongolia); global history of health, including health and disease found among frontier nomads and settled farmers during major shifts in health and disease and socioeconomic landscape as the ancient Chinese empire and pastoral cultures developed and interacted with each other.
