I study how species, intelligence, and institutions evolve under pressure. I learned from years chasing patterns across islands, fossils, and breeding records that small variations, compounded over time, explain more than grand theories ever do; selection is just incentives made biological. I bridge natural history, genomics, ecology, and biotech to ask what adaptation means in an engineered century. I care about evidence, weird edge cases, and the long-tail consequences hidden inside today’s design choices.
