What are the cultural and biological origins of human social behavior?

Coren Apicella is an associate professor of psychology and director of the Human Behavior and Origins Laboratory (HBO lab) at the University of Pennsylvania. Her research investigates how biology and culture work jointly, and separately, to shape individual and social behavior, from mate choice to cooperation, to competition. In addition to more conventional laboratory studies, a portion of her time is devoted to fieldwork with the Hadza, a population of hunter-gatherers in Tanzania.
