FreeHS is a Réseau Thématique Pluridisciplinaire funded by the Institut Écologie et Environnement of the CNRS and promotes the integration of evolutionary theory with approaches from other disciplines to the study of humans. Such multidisciplinary approaches include the study of our psychology, our social organization, our cultural knowledge, the forms of our cooperation and conflicts, the history of our migrations, and our biology including our development and disease.
By considering together the genetic, environmental, and cultural determinants of human behavioral and physiological variation, evolutionary approaches can facilitate innovative solutions to contemporary societal challenges, such as environmental crises, challenges in human health, demography, and economic development. An evolutionary foundation can also integrate multidisciplinary approaches contributing to the development of basic science within disciplines.
The development of these approaches requires collaborations between scientists from traditionally distant disciplines including evolutionary biologists, psychologists, anthropologists, geneticists, linguists, primatologists, economists, political scientists, historians, etc. FreeHS was founded in 2020 and aims to facilitate connections and collaborations between evolutionary human scientists in France or with ties to the community of French human evolutionary scientists.
