Daniel M. T. Fessler, PhD

I approach a variety of aspects of human behavior, experience, and physiology from an integrative perspective in which humans are viewed as both the products of complex evolutionary processes and the possessors of acquired cultural idea systems and behavioral patterns. My research, itself an ever-evolving process, currently focuses on a number of domains including: emotion; sex and reproduction; food and eating; violence and risk-taking; and conformity and cooperation.
