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.
