Robin I.M. Dunbar

Sobre el Autor

Robin I.M. Dunbar is a prominent British anthropologist and evolutionary psychologist, best known for his research on social networks and the cognitive limits of human interaction. He is widely recognized for formulating Dunbar's Number, a theoretical cognitive limit to the number of stable relationships one can maintain, which is typically estimated to be around 150. His work explores the implications of this theory on social media, communication, and the evolution of human societies.

Dunbar's contributions extend beyond social relationships; he has also delved into various aspects of human behavior, including the evolution of language and the dynamics of love and betrayal. His books, such as "Lucy to Language" and "Online Social Networks," provide insights into how cognitive constraints shape human interactions in both traditional and digital societies. Through his research, Dunbar has significantly influenced the fields of anthropology and psychology, offering a deeper understanding of the social fabric that connects individuals within communities.
