I study the social behavior of both nonhuman primates and humans. My current research focus is on the interplay between life history strategy, individual differences, and face-to-face interaction. I’m particularly interested in (1) personality variation in nonhuman primates, (2) the adaptive significance of psychopathy (3) human life history variation as manifest in everyday life.
