Linnda R. Caporael studies human social behavior through an evolutionary lens, examining how cooperation, group living, and social identity may have developed over the course of human evolution. Her work also touches on how modern technologies reshape identity and connects evolutionary thinking to broader questions in science, including astrobiology (the study of life in the universe).
