Présentation

I am a Behavioural Ecologist and Evolutionary Anthropologist observing and researching wild chimpanzees and other non-human primates to understand the evolution of human behaviour and cognition. I am working in intersdisciplinary and international teams on questions addressing the evolution of conflict management, cooperation, cognition, culture and the hominoid brain.
