DAHLBERG PAPER COMPETITION
The Albert A. Dahlberg Prize is awarded annually to the best student paper submitted to the Dental Anthropology Association (DAA). Dr. Dahlberg (1908-1993) was a dentist and professor who worked in the anthropology department at the University of Chicago. He helped found the International Dental Morphology Symposia and is one of the first modern researchers to describe variations in dental morphology and write cogently about these variations, their origins, and importance. The prize was endowed by the Albert A. Dahlberg Fund, established through generous gifts by Mrs. Thelma Dahlberg and other members of the Association.
The 2025 prizewinner is Andrew Kennedy from the University of New Mexico with their manuscript entitled “Early Life Stress Exposure and Sex Differences in Behavioral Development in Wild Chimpanzees: Using Tooth Histology and Digital Light Microscopy.”
