HBES' great friend Margo Wilson passed away after a long and courageous battle with lymphoma. Margo's intellectual contribution to our field through her work with Martin Daly on homicide is an enduring classic. Her service to the society as President and as founding editor of EHB with Martin was instrumental in growing the Society and Journal from small beginnings to enduring institutions. We will never forget Margo's big smile and her special kind of energy. It accompanied her casual conversations, her most acute scientific observations, her direct service, her dedication, and her ambitions for the society. We will miss her terribly. For those wishing to make a memorial donation, two suitable recipients are the Canadian Royal Botanical Gardens and the Juravinski Cancer Centre Foundation.
HBES is a society for all those studying the evolution of human behavior. Scientific perspectives range from evolutionary psychology to evolutionary anthropology and cultural evolution; and the membership includes researchers from a range of disciplines in the social and biological sciences. Our membership is worldwide.
The two main activities of HBES are holding an annual conference, and running a journal called Evolution and Human Behavior (EHB). The conference provides a forum to present and learn about current research in the field, and includes invited plenary talks from leading scientists in the field. Members of HBES receive a free subscription to EHB and also receive a discount on the journal Human Nature, and reduced registration at the annual HBES conference. They also receive a biannual newsletter. Learn more about becoming a member of HBES.
