Human Behavioral Ecology

Human Behavioral Ecology (HBE) is the study of how human behavior is shaped by evolutionary principles and ecological contexts. It examines how individuals adapt their behaviors based on environmental factors, such as resource availability and social structures, to maximize survival and reproduction. By analyzing cultural practices, social interactions, and decision-making, HBE seeks to understand why people behave the way they do across different societies and settings, revealing the link between biology, environment, and culture in shaping human actions.
