Biography
Robert Kurzban is an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. His research focuses on the nature of evolved cognitive adaptations for social life. This includes relatively low level processes of social categorization as well as higher level processes including cooperative decision making, discrimination, and social exclusion. He uses methods drawn from experimental economics and cognitive psychology to address these questions.
