Human Behavior and Evolution Society

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Human Behavior and Evolution Society, or HBES, is an interdisciplinary, international society of researchers, primarily from the social and biological sciences, who use modern evolutionary theory to help to discover human nature - including evolved emotional, cognitive and sexual adaptations. It was founded October 29, 1988 at the University of Michigan.

The official academic journal of the society is Evolution and Human Behavior, and the society has held annual conferences annually since 1989. As of 2005, the president is Bobbi Low, of the School of Natural Resources and Environment, University of Michigan. The membership consists of scholars from many fields, such as psychology, anthropology, medicine, law, philosophy, biology and sociology. Despite the diversity, HBES members "all speak the common language of Darwinism."[1]
