SCIENTIFIC DIRECTOR

Martin is Assistant Professor in the Department of Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University.  In 2016, he established the Kokolopori Bonobo Research Project in collaboration with the Bonobo Conservation Initiative (BCI) and Vie Sauvage.

With over a decade of field experience studying wild bonobos, Martin’s research focuses mainly on questions related to aspects of competition and cooperation within and between groups. Combining behavioral and endocrinological data, the longitudinal study at Kokolopori is contributing to a better understanding of intergroup tolerance and behavioral diversity within bonobos.

Dr. Surbeck earned his Ph.D. from the University of Leipzig, Germany and served as a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology.
