I am a senior associate professor in ethology at the Division of Biology, Linköping University, and deputy director of the Centre for Cultural Evolution at Stockholm University. I held a post doc fellowship at St Andrews University and during autumn 2019 I was a visiting fellow at Cambridge University, as a guest to the Centre for Future Intelligence. My research includes mechanisms and evolution of behavior and culture.

My books include "Quercus. The Oak and Diversity" (Atlantis, 2010), and "The Human Evolutionary Transition: On the differences between humans and other animals" (Enquist, Ghirlanda & Lind, 2023, Princeton University Press).
