Susan C. Alberts is Robert F. Durden Distinguished Professor of Biology and Evolutionary Anthropology at Duke University. She is a winner of the Cozzarelli Prize, a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Research in the Alberts Lab investigates the evolution of social behavior, particularly in mammals, with a specific focus on the social behavior, demography, life history, and behavioral endocrinology of wild primates. Our main study system is the baboon population in Amboseli, Kenya, one of the longest-running studies of wild primates in the world, ongoing since 1971.
