Description of Research |
|
Summary Statement of Research Interests |
|
| My primary research interest has been to utilize an interdisciplinary approach towards understanding the basis of human social behavior. I now focus on sexual selection, the evolution of communication, and geographic variation. I study these topics from an ecological and evolutionary perspective, examining social structure, vocal signaling and reproductive strategies among extant primates in the wild and exploring the implications for early human societies and their ancestors. | |
