Robert Dudley
Robert Dudley is a professor of integrative biology at the University of California, Berkeley, known for his research on the evolutionary origins of alcohol consumption. He has been a key figure in the development of the 'drunken monkey hypothesis,' which suggests that the attraction to alcohol in humans may be rooted in the dietary habits of our primate ancestors. His recent studies on chimpanzees in African rainforests have revealed that these primates consume significant amounts of naturally fermented fruit, drawing parallels between their behaviors and those of humans regarding alcohol.
