Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior (EEB 122)
Evolution plays an important though underutilized role in medicine. Evolution guides how our bodies respond to various treatments, how pathogens will respond to treatments, and how pathogens' responses will change over time. Pathogens oftentimes will evolve to an intermediate level of virulence where they become strong enough to infect a host and reproduce, but not so strong as to kill the host before it can spread the pathogen.

Why do women have sex? (David Buss & Cindy Meston at CASW 2009)
Many of us think we know the answer to that one. Three obvious guesses might be: For pleasure, because theyre in love, or to have children. And we might think of a few more if we worked at it. David Buss and Cindy Meston asked 1,500 women why they had sex, and they came up with a list of 237 different reasons. The research covers sexual attraction, orgasm and pleasure, love and bonding, and such things as sexual competition among women, and effects on social status and reputation.

HBES Interview Series - David Buss
HBES Interview Series - David Buss
Today's interview in the series "On the Origin of the Human Behavior and Evolution Society" is David Buss, Professor of Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. David is one of the founders of evolutionary psychology but initially made significant contributions to personality psychology. He is perhaps best known for groundbreaking work in human sex differences and mating including jealousy, cross-cultural mate preferences (as he discusses from 17:21-28:50) and the strategies people use to capture and retain a mate. Oftentimes his discoveries come with their own snappy nomenclature like "mate poaching" and exploitability. David professes he is especially interested in the "dark side" (e.g.) of human nature. Many of the initial forays David made into new territory have spawned whole new lines of research.
I'd be remiss to not mention many of David's more colorful qualities as recounted by myself and his other former graduate students. David is a self-described "hyperadaptationist"; he sees psychological adaptations everywhere. Once, during a seminar at his house David mentioned to us that his puppy, Dexter Darwin, sleeping in his lap was "parasitizing his parental mechanisms". Similarly, David also takes a keen interest in how evolutionary psychology principles manifest in real life. At parties you'll often see him asking questions and listening avidly while people describe their romantic lives, relationship dissolutions and aggressive interactions. It's not just David's scientific perspective but his charm that have led him to have such an impact on the field and the wider public. A feminist friend of mine told me that meeting and talking with David reversed her negative preconceived notions about evolutionary psychology and psychologists. David's incisive understanding of mating psychology is only rivaled by his difficulty with modern technology. Once, during a lecture attended by hundreds of students a mobile phone began ringing loudly and continuously. After a few tense minutes David finally realized the sound was emanating from his briefcase which he put outside after unsuccessfully trying to silence the phone!
Some highlights of this interview include David's rebellious roots and how an early hypothesis about dominance was purely designed to upset one of his teachers (1:00), how he began to acclimatize to John Tooby and Leda Cosmides' night owl schedule when they became fast friends at Harvard (13:00-13:43), the advice he would give to graduate students (32:00) and the way he demonstrates how to derogate a rival male on his interviewer and former graduate student Barry X. Kuhle, maybe a little too effectively (21:00). ~written by Diana Fleischman

HBES Interview Series - Leda Cosmides
This is an interview with Dr. Leda Cosmides conducted in July, 2013 for the "On the Origin of HBES: An Oral History Project" I'm co-leading with Catherine Salmon and Dave Lundberg-Kenrick. Notable moments included:
(1) how being 5 minutes late to a meeting with E. O. Wilson (when she was an undergrad at Harvard) was "key to her future"
(2) discussion of her showing up at David Buss' office while she was a grad student at Harvard because she heard he was talking about evolution in one of his psychology courses
(3) how she (and collaborator/husband John Tooby) were the Jackie Robinsons of psychology for breaking the "evolution barrier" by being the first out-of-the-closet evolutionary psychologists to be hired as such (after many failed attempts to land positions)
(4) how her seminal and award winning 1989 paper on cheater detection took 4 years and several rejections before getting published in Cognition
(5) why she called the field she and John helped start "evolutionary psychology" as opposed to "human sociobiology"
(6) which of her papers she feels has had the greatest and weakest impacts on the field
My admiration and adoration for Leda knows no bounds. I hope you enjoy hearing her candid reflections and remembrances as much as I did.

Kevin Laland - The Evolution of Culture
Kevin Laland - The Evolution of Culture
Webcast sponsored by the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre and hosted by Green College. Both demographically and ecologically, humans are a remarkably successful species. This success is generally attributed to our capacity for culture. But how did our species' extraordinary culturalcapabilities evolve from its roots in animal social learning and tradition? In this seminar, Laland will provide a provisional answer. After characterizing contemporary research into animal social learning, he will focus in on a case study of stickleback learning that illustrates the strategic nature of animal copying. Laland will go on to describe the findings of an international competition (the "social learning strategies tournament") that he organized to investigate the best way to learn. Laland will suggest that the tournament sheds light on why copying is widespread in nature, and why humans happen to be so good at it. Finally, he will end by describing some other theoretical and experimental projects suggesting feedback mechanisms that may have been instrumental to the evolution of Culture.

Human evolution is the evolutionary process leading up to the appearance of modern humans. While it began with the last common ancestor of all life, the topic usually covers only the evolutionary history of primates, in particular the genus Homo, and the emergence of Homo sapiens as a distinct species of hominids . The study of human evolution involves many scientific disciplines, including physical anthropology, primatology, archaeology, paleontology, ethology, linguistics, evolutionary psychology, embryology and genetics.
