James Hopson

James Allen Hopson (1935-) es un paleontólogo estadounidense y profesor hoy retirado de la Universidad de Chicago. Su trabajo se enfoco en la evolución de los sinapsidos grupo que incluye a los mamiferos, haciendo hincapié en los sinapsidos basales y mamiferos del Paleozoico y Mesozoico. Se doctoro en Chicago in 1965, y trabajo en la Universidad de Yale antes de retornar a Chicago en 1967 como miembro de la catedra de anatomía, e investigador asociado del Museo Field de Historia Natural desde 1971.[1] También ha trabajado en la paleobiología de dinosaurios, y su trabajo junto con Peter Dodson, es la pieza fundamental sobre el comportamiento social y variacón de los dinoaurios de pico de pato crestados.[2]
