Melvin Konner

Welcome to my website.

I apply science to human nature and experience, exploring the links between biology and behavior, medicine and society, nature and culture. Why do we do what we do, think what we think, feel what we feel? I find answers in anthropology, biology, medicine, evolution, the brain, childhood, history, and culture. I've often commented on medical ethics, health care reform, child care, and other issues, and I do that here too. Your comments are welcome.

Selected Books

  • The Tangled Wing
  • Becoming a Doctor
