Human Ethology
Human Ethology is a field of biological research concerned with the
analysis of human behavior from an evolutionary point of view — the
application of the principles of evolutionary theory to the study of
human behavioral diversity. The design of traits, behaviors, and
perceptions are examined as functional products of natural or sexual
selection. On this basis, we attempt to explain human behavior as an
adaptive solution to ecological and social constraints such as the
competing life-history demands of development, mate acquisition,
reproduction, parental care.
Our research is conducted at the
and at the intersection to anthropometry in
