Human Ecologist and Archaeologist

I'm a human ecologist, anthropologist, and archaeologist interested in how people both adapt to and shape their environments - whether those environments be natural or social. I take a quantitative, ecological, and evolutionary approach to understanding human behavior and demography in both the past and the present.
