I’m an Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology and Director of the Evolution and Social Science Group at the University of Missouri. My research interests include cooperation and social evolution, cultural evolution, evolution of learning and development, metascience, and philosophy of biology. I teach courses on cultural anthropology, the evolution of human nature, theory in anthropology, and the department capstone seminar.
