Anthropology
Why Is Mary Marzke Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Mary W. Marzke was an American anthropologist. Her research focuses on the evolution of the hominin hand. Early life and education Mary Marzke was born Mary Walpole in Oakland, California. While in middle school and high school, ski trips with her family friends the McCowns sparked an interest in anthropology as both Professor and Mrs. McCown were physical anthropologists. Professor McCown later went on to serve as one of her Ph.D. supervisors. In 1959, she graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with an A.B. in Anthropology. Following this, she attained her M.A. in anthropology from Columbia University in New York in 1961. Marzke returned to the University of California, Berkeley to earn her Ph.D. in anthropology, completing it in 1964. Her Ph.D. supervisors at the University of California, Berkeley were Professors Theodore McCown and Sherwood Washburn. Marzke died on September 3, 2020, surrounded by family.
