Our mission is to develop a unified scientific framework for understanding the fundamental patterns of human variation across cultures and biology.

A core driver of our work is the belief that **science needs to understand human variation holistically** to inform research decisions and enable evidence-based approaches to human development.

Because of this, we have focused on building in-house capabilities to analyze the integrated nature of human traits across physical and psychological domains. We aim to conduct rigorous, comprehensive assessments of human variation patterns across cultures and biological systems.  

We are currently building and running studies on: 

• Integration: How psychological and physical traits converge in their genetic and phenotypic expressions
• Cultural impacts: How different societies have understood and classified human variation, and how these systems relate to modern scientific understanding.
• Development: How traits emerge and interact throughout human development, influenced by both biological and environmental factors
• Patterns: How fundamental patterns of human variation persist across cultures while manifesting in culturally specific ways

By studying these patterns now, we can help scientists assess their significance and develop more effective approaches to human science.

We are also pursuing research beyond classification to enhance understanding and improve human outcomes, such as research to make psychological assessments more culturally informed and to increase scientific understanding of human consciousness and development.
