Males exist. Does it Matter? : School of Anatomy, Physiology & Human Biology Seminar Series Other events...
The Seminar: A lot of evolutionary theory involves the concept of populations climbing towards peaks of higher fitness. Such theory has been written without taking into account that in most species there are two distinct classes of individuals — males and females — that influence the evolutionary process in a distinctly different way. I will talk about this, and try to shed some light on two quite broad questions: why do males exist, and what determines how they behave?

The Speaker: Hanna Kokko finished her PhD at Helsinki University in 1997. She has conducted postdoctoral work at the Universities of Cambridge and Glasgow, and obtained her first professorship at Helsinki University in 2004. For the last five years she has been a professor of evolutionary ecology and a Laureate Fellow at the Australian National University; later this year she will be back in Europe, as a professor of evolutionary ecology at the University of Zurich.
