Richard W. Wrangham
Richard Wrangham is a renowned biological anthropologist and Professor at Harvard University.
He founded the Kibale Chimpanzee Project in 1987 and has extensively researched primate ecology, nutrition, and social behavior.
Wrangham began his career working with Jane Goodall and assisted Dian Fossey in establishing her gorilla conservation organization.
His work focuses on human evolution, particularly the role of cooking in our development.
Wrangham has argued that cooking food is obligatory for humans due to biological adaptations and may explain increases in brain size and other physical changes in hominids.
He has authored several influential books on human evolution and primate behavior.
