Robert Kurzban investigates how our cognitive abilities are evolutionarily adapted for social life. His work delves into the processes underlying cooperative decision-making, morality, close relationships, and mate choice. Employing experimental methods from cognitive psychology and economics, he uncovers the principles that govern our social interactions. His research illuminates the fundamental evolutionary mechanisms shaping human behavior within society.
