Welcome to the Evolution and Human Behavior Laboratory at the University of Miami!
Welcome to the Evolution and Human Behavior Laboratory, directed by Professor Michael McCullough. Housed within the Department of Psychology at the University at the University of Miami, the EHB Lab's approach to psychology integrates the principles of evolutionary biology to explain human behavior; that is, we look to our evolutionary past to shed light on how and why we behave the way we do in the present.
