Sebastian Sosa

I am a junior researcher at the Primate & Evolutionary Anthropology Laboratory of the Anthropology department, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China.
I study animal societies and more specifically the underlying mechanisms that allow the emergence of a specific social structure and its adaptive structural properties.
How individuals interact between each other? How a society is structured to face challenges induced by natural selection (group cohesion, hierarchical structure, etc.)? These are some of the questions currently considered through multilevel and multi-methodological analyses (social networking and referential statistics) to understand the structural processes in animal societies, the ecological and evolutionary consequences over the structures themselves and their emerging characteristics.
