Michel Raymond
Research Director
Human evolutionary biology, by overturning the traditional (but arbitrary) barriers between evolutionary biology and the human sciences, approaches everything related to the human species from a new angle.
I am particularly interested in cultural evolution, conflicts around parental investment, the evolution of aesthetic preferences, the understanding of manual laterality, and certain Darwinian paradoxes (frequent and heritable traits associated with lower survival or reproduction).
I propose an optional teaching module (introduction to human evolutionary biology) in the M2R Biodiversity, Ecology and Evolution course.
