Stephanie Fox

Stephanie Fox is a Research Fellow in Integrative Anthropological Sciences at UC Santa Barbara, affiliated with the Center for Aging and Longevity Studies (CALS) and the Neuroscience Research Institute. Her work centers on evolutionary foundations of human sociality through comparative primate studies, examining social behavior, demography, and hormonal biomarkers across the lifespan.

Dr. Fox investigates lifespan variations in social integration among social primates using long-term field data from wild chimpanzees and blue monkeys combined with non-invasive biomarker analyses. Her research identifies social, ecological, and demographic constraints on sociality, with recent focus on adult offspring's impact on aging mothers' social lives. Cross-species and cross-cultural synthesis forms the core of her evolutionary perspective on human social aging.
