The Human Biology, Ecology and Evolution Program is interested in the relationships between culture, behavior, and environment and their impacts on health and well-being. This focus is crucial in light of accelerating ecological, economic and socio-political changes such as globalization, market integration and climate change. We ask, for instance, what are the impacts of changing environments on human health, biology and behavior across the lifespan What factors can foster or undermine ecological and cultural resilience How do evolutionary and ecological processes shape human variation in the past and present We emphasize an integrative, biocultural approach and focus on links among social and cultural processes, political and economic context, and human biology and health. We incorporate both theory and practice, using a diverse set of methods including biomarker collection and laboratory analysis, statistical modeling and computer simulation, anthropometry, osteology, ethnography, archaeology, and geographical analysis, to answer questions about what shapes human biology, behavior, livelihoods, and health from the cellular to societal levels.
