Dr. Kris Sabbi researches the ways that internal and external forces shape primate behavior between infancy and adulthood. She earned her Ph. D. from the University of New Mexico (2020) studying sex differences in wild chimpanzee social and hormonal development. Before joining the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard, she worked as Postdoctoral Researcher at Tufts University on a collaborative research project aimed to establish chimpanzees as a referential model for studying the evolution of human-like leadership. As a College Fellow in HEB, she teaches courses in human life history evolution, hormones and behavior, and research in primate behavior and ecology.
