Ben Sibson
Person
I'm an evolutionary biologist and biomechanist. My research uses techniques and principles of biomechanics, anatomy and physiology, and evolution to study the effects of physical activity and aging on the musculoskeletal system, with particular focus on...
Reproductive Ecology Lab
Page
The Reproductive Ecology lab conducts research on human physiology and life history evolution, particularly reproductive physiology and the regulation of reproductive effort, a field that has become known as reproductive ecology. The research group...
Sasha Post
Person
I am interested how stressful experiences span generations. Specifically, I want to know how different types and timescales of stress interact with parental physiology to influence the health, development, and life history of both parents and their kids...
Raphael Mu
Person
I am building mathematical models of social evolution and strategic interaction to study human culture and how it encodes and is encoded by our psychology, physiology, and environment. One focus is to explore how cooperative behavior emerges and deepens...
Nutritional Ecology Lab
Page
Our lab supports nutritional analyses of foods eaten by humans (Hadza, Ju-Hoansi), great apes (chimpanzees, orangutans, gorillas), and monkeys (pitheciids, snub-nosed monkeys, capuchins). Current graduate student research includes physiological and...
Concentration Overview
Page
Evolutionary theory provides a powerful framework for investigating why humans are the way we are. Human evolutionary biologists seek to understand how evolutionary forces have shaped our anatomy, physiology, psychology, culture and behavior. Research in...
HEB Colloquium: "People of the Sea: What Divers Can Teach Us About Human Physiology and Evolution"
Event
Dr. Melissa Ilardo Postdoctoral Researcher, Molecular Medicine Program, University of Utah & Integrative Biology, University of California Berkeley
Eric Castillo publishes an article on how and why humans use poles to carry loads
News
HEB graduate student Eric Castillo's article titled, "Effects of Pole Compliance and Step Frequency on the Biomechanics and Economy of Pole Carrying During Human Walking" was published in the July 2014 issue of the Journal of Applied Physiology. The...

Rasmus Nielsen Colloquium Lecture: “The Genomics of Human Physiological Adaptation to Local Environments”
Event
Dr. Rasmus Nielsen's research focuses on statistical and computational aspects of evolutionary theory and genetics. One of the central problems he has been interested in is the molecular basis of evolutionary adaptation. What happens at the molecular...
