WHAT I STUDY.

I apply the principles of modern evolutionary theory to study human behavior, economics, and demography. My research ranges broadly from labor migration to the rise and fall of the ancient Maya to the evolution of aggression and territoriality to the foundations of human kinship.
My separate lines of research tie into five important scientific and social issues: the origins and maintenance of cooperation, the origins and maintenance of social inequality, the mechanisms underlying conflict within and among groups, the ways humans respond to and influence the environment, and the way that information is transmitted culturally.
As a hobby, I also do research on using journalistic fact checking reports to measure the overall soundness of political figures' arguments. While currently a hobby, I will make this research part of an entrepreneurial project in the near future. Read more about my fact checking research at my website, Malark-O-Meter.
