I am a philosopher and historian of biology. I study foundational issues
in biology using a combination of theoretical biology, modeling and
philosophical analysis. I also work on the history of evolutionary
theory and genetics. My main focus recently has been on issues related
to cultural evolution and in particular the evolution of human
sociality. I am currently the Director of the Inter-University PhD Program in
the History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences supported by the
Council of Higher Education and Yad Hanadiv. I am currently the
President of the Israeli Society for the History, Philosophy, and
Sociology of Science.
