Teaching and Scholarship Hub

Humans have likely spent the majority of our existence on this planet in relatively egalitarian, small-scale societies. Does this mean humans evolved to be egalitarian? Dr. Christopher R. von Rueden, Associate Professor of Leadership Studies, argues that human nature consists of multiple, often conflicting motivations, which under certain conditions foster egalitarianism and under others more hierarchical social organization. To learn more and join the discussion the Faculty Hub invites you to the Heilman Dining Center on Tuesday, February 4. Sign in at the cashier’s desk between 11:30 a.m. and noon, grab some lunch, and meet us in the Richmond Room on the lower level.
