Dieter Lukas

PeerJ Author & Reviewer

Summary

I investigate why populations differ in their social behaviour. I classify the extent of cooperation and competition between individuals in a wide range of populations and identify which environmental conditions lead to certain behaviours. My current research focuses on identifying whether these conditions also shape human behaviour. I am a Senior Researcher in the Comparative Behavioral Ecology group of the Department of Human Behaviour, Ecology and Culture at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology
