Joseph Henrich (born 1968) is an American anthropologist and professor of human evolutionary biology at Harvard University.^[1] Before arriving at Harvard, Henrich was a professor of psychology and economics at the University of British Columbia. He is interested in the question of how humans evolved from "being a relatively unremarkable primate a few million years ago to the most successful species on the globe", and how culture shaped our species' genetic evolution.^[2]
