Biography

I am an Associate Professor in Comparative Psychology and member of the psychology department at the 乱伦社区. Before that I was the group leader of the research group 鈥淓volutionary Roots of Human Social Interaction鈥 at the Max Planck Institute for evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig/ Germany where I also completed my PhD in 2005 (with Michael Tomasello & Josep Call). I was also a Junior Research Fellow at Churchill College and a member of the Experimental Psychology lab of Cambridge University.

Research interests

My main research interest is the evolution of human sociality with a particular focus on social cognition. Here I am especially interested in the individual鈥檚 understanding of others鈥 perception, knowledge, intentions, desires and beliefs. I am also interested in questions concerning cooperation and communication among individuals. In my research I follow a comparative approach, that is, I select meaningful groups for comparisons. One comparison is that of humans with their closest living relatives, the great apes. Another comparison is that of humans with one of their closest living domesticated species, the domestic dog.
