Janet Monge

Janet Monge is an American physical anthropologist who was the keeper and curator of the physical anthropology section at the Penn Museum, the associate director and Manager of the Penn Museum Casting Program, and Adjunct Associate Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Philadelphia Magazine named Monge "Best Museum Curator" in 2014. Monge's work covers nearly the entire spectrum of biological anthropology from paleoanthropology to forensic anthropology. Her research interests include human evolution, human skeletal biology, bioarchaeology, and life-history/paleodemography. Monge contributed to the analysis of the burnt remains of the 1985 MOVE bombing victims, and drew criticism that she had used remains from the bombing without the family's knowledge or consent. Monge had left her position at Penn by December 2023. Provided by Wikipedia
