NICHD Trainee, Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology Former NSF Sponsored Trainee, IGERT Program in Evolutionary Modeling Doctoral Student, BioCultural Anthropology Program, Department of Anthropology, University of Washington "Once one has lost the sense of measure, there is no longer any limit." -Epictetus  I apply the principles of modern evolutionary theory to the study of human behavior. I also study how biology and culture interactively shape human cultural diversity. People who do this varyingly call themselves human evolutionary ecologists, evolutionary social scientists, biocultural anthropologists, and other things. My contextual interests range broadly from modern migrants' remittance behavior to the rise and fall of ancient Maya polities. The general problem that interests me is the evolution of social and reproductive inequalities within cooperative groups through the evolution of bargaining behavior. The evolution of territorial strategies is a related interest. |
