Geoffrey Miller (author and psychologist)

Geoffrey Miller is an American psychologist and author known for applying evolutionary theory to understand human behavior and aesthetics. He explores how our instincts, especially those related to attraction and competition, have been shaped by natural selection. Miller suggests that many aspects of human culture, like art, fashion, and sexual preferences, serve to signal qualities like health, intelligence, or genetic fitness to others. His work provides insight into why we find certain traits attractive and how our desire for status and novelty can influence social and personal choices.
