Dr. Kristopher Smith is a postdoc in the Human Sociality Lab in the Department of Anthropology at Washington State University, where he studies long-distance relationships and natural resource management in Tanzania in collaboration with Anne Pisor and Monique Borgerhoff Mulder. This project applies evolutionary anthropology to better understand how communities can work together to manage shared, open-access fisheries. 

In this episode, we talk about human cooperation. We start by talking about the aspects of human cooperation Dr. Smith focus the most on. We discuss models of human evolution. We talk about partner choice models, and the “anomalous-is-bad” stereotype. We also discuss if people prefer deontologists or consequentialists when it comes to moral character. We discuss long-distance relationships and resource management, and how people from different groups maintain cooperation. Throughout the interview, we focus mostly on the Hadza and people from Tanzania. Finally, we talk about human universals and cross-cultural variation.
