Research Areas of Interest
My research interests focus on the impact of evolution on human behavior, with
particular emphasis on gender differences in human reproductive competition,
factors that influence mate selection, the role of female infidelity and paternal
assurance tactics, the relationship between morphology and behavior (e.g.,
fluctuating asymmetry, digit ratios), adaptations that minimize forced copulation,
effect of the menstrual cycle on behavior, voice attactiveness as a fitness
indicator, semen chemistry and behavior, sperm competition, and semen displacement.
I am also interested in the evolution of self-awareness and social cognition,
and schizophrenia as a self-processing disorder. Specific areas of interest
follow. |
