LETTER FROM
THE EDITORS
Vol. 11, Spring 2024

Dear Reader,
    From the Editorial board, we are proud to present Volume 11 of Sapient: Columbia’s
Undergraduate Journal of Biological Anthropology. We are excited to showcase a wide array
of exceptional student art, poetry, and of course, academic writing. This year’s volume includes papers on a wide variety of topics, including primate growth and development, paleolithic art, and evolutionary theory.
    We are grateful to have had so many new faces in Sapient meetings and events this year,
each bringing a new skill set. We also began working with our first illustrators in recent years.
We are glad to have had submissions from board editors, as well as those that came from
outside Columbia and the department of E3B. Thank you for helping us create a multimedia,
interdisciplinary celebration of undergraduate work.
    Needless to say, it was a long and tumultuous year on campus. Many student groups had to cancel events and publication releases. We are fortunate to have avoided such issues, mostly thanks to advice and support from our faculty advisor, Dr. Jill Shapiro, and the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Biology’s Kyle Bukhari. Aside from publishing, one of our annual goals in Sapient is to share enthusiasm for biological anthropology in the Columbia community. This year, we successfully hosted three events for all students to join us and share their creativity using the medium of human evolution. We would like to extend gratitude to all who attended, as well as an invitation to many more such occasions next year!
    Lily will be returning as Co-Editor-in-Chief next year, and Ana will be watching from afar. We are both excited to see what Sapient board members and contributors will bring to the table next year and beyond.


Ana Reif and Lily Kuhn, Co-Editors in Chief
