MY LINE OF RESEARCH
I am interested in the study of the strategies that primates (including humans) employ to face the challenges imposed by their social and ecological environments; all this from and comparative perspective, and in light of evolutionary theories like natural and sexual selection, and life history theory. My research includes approaches from diverse disciplines including ethology, endocrinology (non-invasive), ecology, developmental psychology and, in general, biological anthropology.
