Russell Howard Tuttle (born August 18, 1939) is a distinguished primate morphologist,[1][2] paleoanthropologist, and a four-field (linguistics, archaeology, sociocultural anthropology and biological anthropology) trained Anthropologist.[3] He is currently an active Professor of Anthropology, Evolutionary Biology, History of Science and Medicine at the University of Chicago.[4] Tuttle was enlisted by Mary Leakey to analyze the 3.4-million-year-old footprints she discovered in Laetoli, Tanzania. He determined that the creatures that left these prints walked bipedally in a fashion almost identical to human beings.[5] He currently lives in Chicago, Illinois.

Tuttle was named Guggenheim Fellow in 1985[6] and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 2003.[7]
