| Research
interests |
|
I
have
broad
interests
in
behavioural
ecology,
evolutionary
anthropology
and
cultural
evolution.
The
aim
of
my
research
is
to
understand
the
socio-ecological
causes,
the
proximate
mechanisms
and
the
reproductive
consequences
of
behavioural
strategies
in
humans.
I
am
particularly
keen
on
deciphering
the
universal
as
well
as
the
local
adaptive
significance
of
human
key
behavioural
traits.
During
my
PhD,
I
have
studied
the
role
of
paternity
uncertainty
for
variation
in
paternal
care
and
paternal
recognition
of
offspring
through
phenotypic
resemblance,
using
data
I
collected
in
two
contemporary
populations
(modern
and
traditional).
At
a
proximate
level,
I
have
also
investigated
the
hormonal
regulation
of
paternal
care
as
well
as
the
cognitive
ability
associated
with
the
detection
of
facial
phenotypic
resemblance.
Currently,
my
research
focuses
on
how
mate
personality
combination
and
the
underlying
hormonal
associates
predict
fitness-related
traits
in
contemporary
populations
that
differ
in
their
fertility
conditions.
This
work
is
carried
out
in
collaboration
with
evolutionary
biologists,
sociologists
and
psychologists.
In
future,
I
will
start
a
fellowship
in
the
domain
of
cultural
evolution
that
aims
to
understand
the
relative
importance
of
group
versus
individual-level
effects
for
the
diffusion
of
cultural
innovation. |
