I have a passion for understanding various aspects of human reproduction from an integrative, evolutionary perspective. That's a sensible scholarly passion too: in a Darwinian world, the ultimate currency is reproductive success. My academic training as an undergraduate was at UCLA, where I majored in Anthropology and Geography/Environmental Studies. While I began as a Civil Engineering student, one Anthropology class threw me off those tracks and on to this other. The faculty were inspiring, and so were study abroad experiences in Kenya and Costa Rica, which prompted my non-stop mental application of the same evolutionary principles applied to other creatures to us as well. I earned a PhD in 2003 in Biological Anthropology at Harvard University. Faculty mentors reinforced the importance of viewing human behavior, physiology, and health within an overarching evolutionary framework. Comparison with other primates is illuminating, an international scope is important, and so is appreciation of the complementary ways that ultimate and proximate processes play. I subsequently bulked up my clinical research and androgen side through a postdoc in Los Angeles, at a time when my wife and I also welcomed our first daughter amidst kin support. Reproductive ideas and realities have been enmeshed ever since. And since 2005 I have been an anthropology professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), allowing space for research, thinking, and teaching on these same passions.
