Research interests
I am a human behavioural ecologist working on a wide range of academic issues: inequality and social networks, community management of natural resources, and marriage and household economics in communities that have not yet completed demographic transition. I also work with community organizations in East Africa, focusing natural resource management and the monitoring & evaluation of project interventions.
I am a retired Distinguished Research Professor at University of California at Davis, currently affiliated with the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology at Leipzig, and the Santa Fe Institute
