His research in paleoprimatology and paleoanthropology has taken him from the skeletal cabinets of far-flung international museums, to the remote fossil beds of South America, Korea and Hawaii. He has published extensively on the evolutionary history of Neotropical primates and has described several new extinct species. More recently his attention has returned to the emergence of modern human walking; he edited and contributed to the influential book, From Biped to Strider: the Emergence of Modern Human Walking Running and Resource Transport (Kluwer/ Plenum, 2004).  Jim Sherman was born and raised in Michigan and spent his youth in the woods camping, hiking and hunting. He went to Alma college on a theater scholarship and acted to pay for college expenses. Realizing that theater was not going to provide any financial security Jim took his life-long interest in history and made a career in education. He has taught both middle school and high school and currently teaches at Beverly Hills Wylie E. Groves High School. While teaching classes in Advanced Placement European as well as American history, Jim also coaches girls cross country. He participates in triathlons but most of his summers are spent either with his wife and daughter biking, swimming or camping or in the field researching bigfoot.
