Professional/Personal Overview
I write about science, with emphasis on animal behavior and anthropology. With three decades' research experience as an anthropologist who studies primates, I bring a combination of professional expertise and personal reflection to my trade books, my weekly post at NPR's 13.7 Cosmos and Culture blog, and my articles in the Times Literary Supplement. Issues I cover include animal emotion, animal thinking, evolution of language, culture, and religion, and the animal-human bond.
