For those of you who don’t know his work, I encourage you to check it out immediately (if not sooner). Among my favorites are Unto Others: The Evolution and Psychology of Unselfish Behavior and the book that became the title of his blog, Evolution For Everyone.

It’s a testament to the power of social media to have such an influential and important working scientist joining the network here at Seed. Please join me in offering him a warm welcome.

    What happened to him? You mean blunt object trauma or late onset mental illness?

    yeah, i’m wondering kind of about the second. though looking at his arc it seems he always had the views he’s espousing now. for the backstory:
