Research

Our research explores the proximate mechanisms, cognitive and motivational, underlying the cooperative behaviour of human and non-human great apes. We employ an interdisciplinary approach drawing methodologies and knowledge from psychology, anthropology, behavioural economics and evolutionary biology.
