Research Overview
Visit the Evolution Lab website
The Evolution Laboratory uses the tools of behavioral science and evolutionary biology to study sexual politics. We believe that understanding the complex interplay between sex, power, and social behavior is essential to creating a more equitable society. Our interdisciplinary approach allows us to uncover the underlying evolutionary and cultural factors that shape sexual relationships and power dynamics. By shedding light on these issues, our work contributes to a deeper understanding of the human experience and to the development of policies that promote equality and justice.
