Rui Diogo is a Portuguese American biologist, researcher, speaker, and writer at Howard University with several published scientific books,[1] whose research (including those of his lab [2]) covers social issues such as racism, sexism, etc., using scientific data from many different fields of science (interdisciplinarity).
[12] According to ONCE, evolution is mainly driven by the behavioural choices and persistence of organisms themselves, whilst natural selection plays a secondary role.
His groundbreaking research on these topics and on human evolution has gained widespread recognition and attention from major global media outlets, including BBC, CNN, and The New York Times, with more than 600 media pieces published in more than 50 countries about his research.
Engaging with a diverse audience, he has participated in numerous TV interviews, documentaries, TED talks and radio shows, collaborating with media outlets worldwide.
Having traveled to 150 countries, he is committed to challenging norms and advocating for inclusivity, significantly influencing global discourse about human evolution, biology and diversity, as exemplified by three of his later books, the highly-acclaimed “Evolution Driven by Organismal Behavior“ and, more recently, “Meaning of Life, Human Nature and Delusions“, and “Darwin’s Racism, Sexism and Idolization“.
