Species‐level taxonomy derives from empirical sources (data and techniques) that assess
the existence of spatiotemporal evolutionary lineages via various species “concepts.” These …

Humans present a behavioural paradox: they are peaceful in many circumstances, but they
are also violent and kill conspecifics at high rates. We describe a social evolutionary theory …

Rassismus ist von Angst getrieben, Ängste sind hier irrational, man kann ihnen rational im

Phylogenetic methods have long been used in biology and more recently have been
extended to other fields—for example, linguistics and technology—to study evolutionary …

Among human and nonhuman apes, calcaneal morphology exhibits significant variation that
has been related to locomotor behavior. Due to its role in weight‐bearing, however, both …

Ancestral state reconstruction is a phylogenetic comparative method that involves estimating
the unknown trait values of hypothetical ancestral taxa at internal nodes of a phylogenetic …

Hominins are the evolutionary line that led to the genus Homo from the common ancestor
shared with the genus Pan (chimpanzees and bonobos). Early hominins are loosely defined …

This dissertation thesis takes a novel evolutionary psychology-based approach to the
research field of sex differences in leadership. The mature field is characterized by …

This study investigates the morphology and genetic diversity of the critically endangered sub-
species, the western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla). Regional variation of a historic …
