My research explores the evolutionary and behavioral ecology of human health, life history, and sociality. I am particularly interested in combining theoretical models with empirical field research to explain variation in social organization across primate and human societies. I do fieldwork with the Tsimane', a group native to the Bolivian Amazon.
