Chris and Mallika sit down with Sean Prall, an Assistant Professor and evolutionary anthropologist at the University of Missouri. His interests center on human health and reproduction, reproductive decision-making, and evolutionary ecology. He examines costs and trade-offs associated with investments in reproduction. He utilizes a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, including anthropometrics, demography, endocrinology, actigraphy, validated health surveys, and dyadic peer ratings, alongside semi-structured demographic interviews and measures of social norms. Sean’s work is informed by a mix of evolutionary and behavioral ecology, cultural evolutionary theory, and evolutionary psychology, especially related to reproductive concerns. Sean is also a co-director of the Kunene Rural Health and Demography Project, a contributor to the ENDOW project, and a collaborator on the Shodagor Longitudinal Health and Demography Project.Find the publications discussed in today’s episode here: https://sprall.github.io------------------------------Sean’s email: sprall@missouri.eduTwitter: @ssprall------------------------------Contact the Sausage of Science Podcast and Human Biology Association:Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/humanbiologyassociationWebsite: humbio.org/, Twitter: @HumBioAssocChris Lynn, HBA Public Relations Committee Chair, Website: cdlynn.people.ua.edu/, email: cdlynn@ua.edu, Twitter:@Chris_LyMallika Sarma, Website: mallikasarma.com/, Twitter: @skyy_malCristina Gildee, HBA Junior Fellow, SoS producer:E-mail: cgildee@uw.edu
