I am also past-president of the Evolutionary Anthropology Society of the American Anthropological Association and a consulting editor for Human Nature. I regularly teach courses on social organization, contentious issues in anthropology, warfare, and introductory cultural anthropology. My research interests are in behavioral ecology, food & labor exchange, human ecology, marriage, parental investment, and Amazonia. Most of my research is on native peoples of the Venezuelan Amazon (Yanomamö & Ye'kwana) with funding from the NSF, LSB Leakey Foundation, and the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation.
