Assistant Professor
Nic Thompson González (she/they) is a behavioral ecologist and evolutionary primatologist in the Department of Anthropology. Their work draws from evolutionary biology, animal behavior, sociology, and public health to examine the multiple links between sociality, health, and biological fitness in human and non-human primates. Their work also centers life history theory as a framework to evaluate the costs and benefits of social relationships and community dynamics throughout the life course. They co-direct the Kakamega Monkey Project, a long term field site established in 1979 that studies the behavior, biology, and demography of wild blue monkeys. They also work as an investigator at the California National Primate Research Center on rhesus macaques and co-direct the Biobehavioral Health Laboratory at UCSB.
