EvoCo
At EvoCo: Human Behaviour and Evolution Lab we study human behaviour from an evolutionary perspective. We carry out experimental projects (and some involving data mining) on a wide range of topics, spanning from mate choice to hormonal effects on behaviour, including acoustic analyses of voices and morphometric analyses of faces.
Brief history
EvoCo was founded by Oscar R. Sánchez in 2015 as the Laboratory of Human Behaviour Analysis (LACH). Over time, we have consolidated a small but diverse team and launched several long-term projects.
On this page, you will find information about the researchers and research assistants with whom I work permanently at EvoCo at Universidad El Bosque, as well as the research students I currently supervise or have supervised in the past.
