Dr. Arnocky's lab is dedicated to the study of human evolution and is funded by the CFI, SSHRC, and NSERC. It is indisputable that nature and sexual selection have shaped many aspects of human biology and behaviour. The Human Evolution Lab seeks to understand how evolutionary pressures may have influenced various aspects of human immune function and hormones, and how these biological factors affect physical attractiveness as well as mating and conflict strategies (competition and aggression) employed both within and between the sexes.
