Robert Trivers

I am an evolutionary biologist who has always wanted to build social theory based on natural selection. i have concentrated on selection at the level of the individual and of the gene, including all cases of within-individual genetic conflict, where the genes inside you may act against your own best interests.

I have also always wanted to live life as well as study it, as described in my recent memoir: Wild Life: Adventures of an Evolutionary Biologist (2005)
