James Chisholm is an Emeritus Professor at the University of Western Australia. His research focuses on principles of evolutionary ecology, life history theory, and sexual selection theory, particularly in relation to human reproductive strategies. He combines data from the behavior of nonhuman primates and cultural ecology with insights from existing hunter-gatherer societies to develop models explaining the evolution of human behavior. His work seeks to understand the individual differences in life history traits, such as age at menarche, sexual intercourse, marriage, and reproduction, as well as the quality of close emotional relationships, and how these relate to fundamental issues like teenage pregnancy and family dynamics. Chisholm's contributions extend into fields such as evolutionary medicine and public health, providing perspectives that are relevant to social policy. His ideas are elaborated upon in his book 'Death, Hope, Sex: Steps in Evolutionary Ecology, Mind, and Morality' published by Cambridge University Press in 1999.
