Evolutionary Anthropology Society
 

EAS is an independent, 501(c)(3), professional organization that brings together scholars interested in applying modern evolutionary theory to the analysis of human biology, behavior, and culture. This website describes our group’s activities and provides resources for EAS members. We welcome students, faculty, and anyone with similar interests to join the EAS and help us build a thriving community of researchers. 

​

Our diverse membership includes human behavioral ecologists, primatologists, archaeologists, cultural anthropologists, psychologists, biologists, and paleoanthropologists, to name a few. At our annual meetings, we provide venues for students, young investigators, and senior researchers to get to know each other and to present current research on a variety of topics within evolutionary anthropology.

​

Evolutionary anthropology is a broad and exciting field, and we encourage research and presentations on a wide range of topics. EAS-sponsored presentations at past meetings have ranged in topic, from foraging and food sharing in comparative and diachronic perspective, gender roles, evolutionary applied anthropology, the evolution of cooperation and inequality, and more. Given the breadth of our membership and the inclusive definition of evolutionary anthropology to which EAS subscribes, the list of topics we address is certain to expand.
