‘This is our moment to step up’

The internationally-renowned behavioural scientist, Tamás Dávid-Barrett, is my latest guest on Inside Ideas.

His groundbreaking work focuses on how the structure of social networks change during falling fertility, urbanisation, and migration; as well as, how social networks vary over the human life-course. Tamás’s current projects include the origins of inequality regulation; why the behavioural rules between women and men vary so much across cultures; and the evolutionary foundations of sharing behaviour.
