About the Author
Douglas T. Kenrick is a distinguished evolutionary psychologist and professor emeritus at Arizona State University, where he has spent decades exploring the intricate ways human behavior is shaped by our evolutionary past. With a PhD from UCLA, Kenrick's research bridges psychology, biology, and anthropology, revealing how ancient adaptations influence modern life—from mating strategies to decision-making under uncertainty. His work challenges conventional wisdom, arguing that evolution has equipped us with surprising cognitive tools that make us more rational than we often credit ourselves. Author of the acclaimed book 'The Rational Animal: How Evolution Made Us Smarter Than We Think,' Kenrick has published extensively in leading journals and co-authored influential texts on social psychology. A sought-after speaker, he continues to illuminate the hidden forces driving human nature through accessible, thought-provoking writing.
