Raymond Hames,
Professor |

I received my
doctorate in
anthropology from
the University of
California-Santa
Barbara in 1978.
Most of my research is on native peoples of the Venezuelan Amazon (Yanomamö &
Ye'kwana) and most recently I have investigated the possibility of research
on the Tsimane of Bolivia.
My research
interests are in
behavioral ecology,
food & labor
exchange, human
ecology, marriage,
kin and parental
investment, and
Amazonia. I
regularly teach
courses on social
structure,
contentious issues
in anthropology,
warfare, and
introductory
cultural
anthropology.
I am also the
graduate advisor
(please contact me
if you have
questions and click
here
for
information on our
program) and serve
as treasurer of the
Human Behavior and
Evolution Society.
