Andrea S. Wiley studies human biology through a biocultural lens, combining anthropology, nutrition, and evolutionary science to understand how diet and social context shape health. A recurring focus is milk consumption and lactase persistence (the ability to digest lactose into adulthood) and how these relate to growth, hormones, and human variation. She also develops conceptual frameworks, such as 'biological normalcy,' for thinking about what counts as normal versus abnormal in human bodies and behaviors.
