Geoffrey F. Miller is een Amerikaanse evolutionair psycholoog die de raakvlakken van psychologie, polyamorie, politiek en toekomstige dreigingen onderzoekt. Zijn werk bestrijkt een breed scala aan onderwerpen, van dierenwelzijn tot kunstmatige intelligentie, vaak met oog voor de langetermijngevolgen. Miller probeert menselijk gedrag te begrijpen door een evolutionaire bril, waarbij hij dieper ingaat op de verklaringen voor onze motivaties en maatschappelijke structuren. Via zijn boeken en publicaties streeft hij ernaar complexe wetenschappelijke concepten toegankelijk te maken voor een breder publiek.

Through their website and podcast, Max and Miller have already helped more than one million guys take their first steps toward Ms. Right. They have collected all of their findings in Mate, an evidence- driven, seriously funny playbook that will teach you how to become a more sexually attractive and romantically successful man, the right way
