Mark Aldenderfer, Ph.D is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Anthropology, Department of Anthropology and Heritage Studies, University of California, Merced, and Edward A. Dickson Emeriti Professorship Endowed Chair. In 2010, Mark was named a National Geographic Society Explorer. His research focuses on the comparative analysis of high altitude cultural and biological adaptations from an archaeological perspective. He is likely to be the only archaeologist who has done research on the three high elevation plateaus of the planet—Ethiopian, Andean, and Tibetan—over the course of his career. Mark currently works in the High Himalayas of Nepal, where he studies long-term patterns of population movements, trade, and the transformation of religious traditions over the past 3000 years. He has served as editor-in-chief of several journals, including Latin American Antiquity and Current Anthropology, the premier four-field journal in anthropology.
