| | JAR Tribute to J. Desmond Clark |
 | | Desmond Clark was the towering figure who in the 1960s, together with Clark Howell, co-founded the holistic, interdisciplinary field of paleoanthropology and was one its premier practitioners for over 60 years, with indefatigable and seminal field research not only throughout Africa, but also in Syria, India and China. |
 | | The list of Clark’s publications is non-pareil; they cover Africa from Tropic to Tropic (and beyond), ranging in subject matter from ethnoarcheological to paleontological, from lithic to ceramic, from Oldowan to Iron Age. |
 | | In 1961, Clark became Professor in the Anthropology Department of the University of California at Berkeley, which would become one of the world’s leading programs in paleoanthropology and African prehistory. |
