David Puts , Ph.D.

Research Interests

Areas: Evolutionary and neuroendocrine bases of human behavior, with special focus on the evolution and development of behavioral sex differences

Interests: Voice: role of sexual selection on the evolution of sex differences in the human voice. Spatial cognition: effects of prenatal or early postnatal androgens on spatial ability, effects of pubertal sex hormones on spatial ability, effects of circulating sex hormones on adult spatial ability, domain specificity of female- and male-advantaged spatial abilities in order to elucidate their adaptive design. Other: developmental and evolutionary causes of differences in sexual orientation; evolutionary basis of female orgasm
