Dr. Joe Henrich currently holds the Ruth Moore Professorship in Biological Anthropology in the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. Over his career, Dr. Henrich has earned tenure and professorships in four different fields: anthropology, psychology, economics and human evolutionary biology. Through an evolutionary lens, he focuses on the interaction between genetic and cultural evolution and has explored a variety of topics, including religions, cooperation, ritual, decision-making, social norms, fairness, marriage, kinship, prestige and innovation. He studies how our evolved psychology interacts with the cultural evolution of institutions, technologies and languages to shape aspects of our cognition, motivation and emotion. His methodological approach combines rich ethnography with experimental techniques and computational textual analysis with econometrics. He has conducted extensive anthropological fieldwork in the Peruvian Amazon, rural Chile, northern Namibia and the South Pacific. He has 4 major comparative research projects, including two focused on religion. As a co-editor, Henrich has published four project based edited volumes and two special issues in academic journals, with the four of these focused on religion. In 2023, KU Leuven awarded Professor Henrich an honorary doctorate. At Harvard, he is affiliated with both the Psychology Department and the Kennedy School.
