OverviewAI-generated summary

Lucas K. Delezene's research focuses on human evolution, with a particular emphasis on the study of fossil hominin dental remains. He has published on the descriptive catalog of *Homo naledi* dental remains from South Africa and reappraised linear enamel hypoplasia in *Homo naledi* in light of new Retzius periodicities. His work also investigates potential influences of sex-biased sampling on tooth size variation in *Homo naledi*. Delezene has contributed to understanding hominin evolution through new discoveries of *Australopithecus* and *Homo* from Ledi-Geraru, Ethiopia, and has explored human evolution in the Zambia Rift Valley. His research extends to comparative primate studies, including preliminary analyses of canine microwear to infer ingestive behaviors and the contrast in enthesis size and hand preference between humans and nonhuman primates. Delezene holds a h-index of 17 with 1,627 total citations across 45 publications. He collaborates with Amelia Villaseñor, Lucyna A. Bowland, Lesley H. Eason, and Peter S. Ungar, all at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
