研究领域

Research interests are evolutionary and include working with social selection models to explain altruism. I am developing a database on Late Pleistocene Appropriate foraging societies with social and political behaviors coded in detail. Eventually this database will be made public. General research interests include morality, conflict resolution,cooperation, social control, feuding and warfare. Currently my research focus is on group punishment as a mechanism of genetic selection that aids in the evolution of altruism because it punishes both classical free-riders (cheaters) and also bullies, whose free-riding potential is even stronger.
