Evolutionary Anthropology / Evolutionary Psychology

I approach a variety of aspects of human behavior, experience, and physiology from an integrative perspective in which humans are viewed as both the products of complex evolutionary processes and the possessors of acquired cultural idea systems and behavioral patterns (for a brief review of my ideas concerning the relationship between evolutionary psychology and general anthropology, click here). My research, itself an ever-evolving process, currently focuses on a number of domains including: emotion; sex and reproduction; food and eating; violence and risk-taking; and conformity and cooperation.
