I am an evolutionary anthropology graduate student at the University of Toronto. In the past I have conducted research on chimpanzees in Cameroon and ring-tailed lemurs on St. Catherines Island. I am very interested in evolutionary history (biological, technological, cultural, geological, physical, etc.). I am also an aspiring science writer and write for The Advanced Apes (www.theadvancedapes.com), Scientific American, The People Project, and the Jane Goodall Institute of Canada. My perspective as a science writer is informed by the evolutionary sciences and focuses on understanding what big history can teach us about contemporary society and the future of our species. My goal in 2013 is to make progress on my first book about how future technological evolution is likely to restructure our social lives and re-conceptualize what it means to be human.
