SOCIETIES & GROUPS:

Animal Behavior Society
The official site for the Animal Behavior Society (ABS). The ABS promotes and encourages the biological study of animal behavior in the broadest sense. Both research studies and the dissemination of knowledge about animal behavior through publications, educational programs, and activities are encouraged.

Human Behavior & Evolution Society
HBES promotes the exchange of ideas and research findings using evolutionary theory, including studies of animal behavior, to better understand human nature.

Norms and Preferences Network
The Preferences Network is an interdisciplinary group headed by Herbert Gintis, an economist and Professor at the University Massachusetts, and Robert Boyd, an anthropologist and Professor at UCLA. Over the past approximately 2 years, the Network has developed a research agenda on modeling the individual. The research will take place over the next several years. A working paper series, as well as details on each network member are available from this site.

Center for Evolutionary Psychology
The goals of the Center are (1) to promote the discovery and systematic mapping of the adaptations that comprise the evolved species-typical architecture of the human mind and brain, and (2) to explore how cultural and social phenomena can be explained as the output of such newly discovered or newly mapped psychological adaptations.

JOURNALS AND BOOKS:

Evolution & Human Behavior
An interdisciplinary journal, presenting research reports and theory in which evolutionary perspectives are brought to bear on the study of human behavior. View Table of Contents (Official journal of the Human Behavior and Evolution Society.)

Human Nature
Human Nature is dedicated to advancing the interdisciplinary investigation of the biological, social, and environmental factors which underlie human behavior. It focuses primarily on the functional unity in which these factors are continuously and mutually interactive. The journal features major overviews and statements of biosocial interpretation and research as well as news briefs highlighting recent conferences and research reports.
