Profile Articles Activity

I'm an evolutionary biologist interested in how and why sexual and social traits have evolved, and how they produce the extraordinary array of behaviours displayed across the animal kingdom.

Recently, my research has focused on the evolution sexual behaviours such as masturbation and kissing, exploring when and why they evolved within our own order, the primates.

Past research topics include the evolution and function of the baculum (penis bone) in mammals, same-sex sexual encounters in naked mole-rats, and nocturnal erections and masturbation in chimpanzees.
