English evolutionary biologist
Kevin Neville Lala (formerly Kevin Neville Laland ; born 5 October 1962)[1] [2] is an English evolutionary biologist who is Professor of Behavioural and Evolutionary Biology at the University of St Andrews in Scotland . Educated at the University of Southampton and University College London ,[3] he was a Human Frontier Science Program fellow at the University of California, Berkeley before joining the University of St Andrews in 2002. He is one of the co-founders of niche construction theory[4] and a prominent advocate of the extended evolutionary synthesis .[5] He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and the Society of Biology . He has also received a European Research Council Advanced Grant,[6] a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award ,[7] and a John Templeton Foundation grant.[8] He was the president of the European Human Behaviour and Evolution Association from 2007 to 2010[9] and a former president of the Cultural Evolution Society.[10] Lala is currently an external faculty of the Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognition Research .[11]
Cognition and learning
[ edit ]
The Lala Lab is primarily focused on animal social learning, innovation, and intelligence,[12] as well as human evolution, particularly the evolution of cognition and culture.[13] Their work lies at the interdisciplinary interface of evolutionary biology, animal behavior, ecology, and psychology.[14]
Niche construction theory
[ edit ]
Following John Odling-Smee's attempt in 1988 to formalize the process of niche construction as an evolutionary process,[15] Odling-Smee, Lala, and Marcus W. Feldman developed a theoretical framework – Niche Construction Theory – that models niche construction as an evolutionary process reciprocally interacting with the process of natural selection.[4] [16] This theory has been applied widely across multiple fields, including ecology[17] [18] evolutionary developmental biology ,[19] and human and cultural evolution.[20] [21] [22]
Extended evolutionary synthesis
[ edit ]
In the mid-2010s, Kevin Lala, Tobias Uller, and colleagues pushed for an extended evolutionary synthesis in a series of high-impact articles.[23] [24] From 2015 to 2018, Uller and Lala led a large international John Templeton Foundation grant to test key hypotheses and assumptions of the extended evolutionary synthesis.[8] [25]
Anti-racism work
[ edit ]
Kevin Lala previously served on the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion division of the School of Biology as deputy director.[26] He is currently serving as an anti-racism advocate,[27] publishing articles[28] [29] on racism in academia.
Lala changed his name from Laland, stating on his lab website "Lala was my original family name, which my parents anglicized when I was 4, in an attempt to reduce the racism that their children experienced. I may have benefited from my surname being anglicized, but it did not sit right with me that I should still bear that name more than 50 years later. I wish to celebrate my ancestry not hide it. I am proud of my Parsi Indian heritage. I am not going to be intimidated by racists."[30]
