Biography:Paul W. Sherman
Paul W. Sherman is a professor Emeritus at Cornell University in animal behaviour best known for his work on naked mole rats and eusociality, and evolutionary medicine.[1][2][3]
Biography
Sherman received his B.A. from Stanford in 1971, an M.S. in zoology from University of Michigan in 1974 and in 1976, his Ph.D. He did his postdoctorate at Berkeley from 1976-78. He joined Cornell faculty in 1981.[4] In 1984 he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1984,[5] and in 1985 he received tenure. He revived full professorship from Cornell in 1991.[6] In 1996, he published work demonstrating how kin selection in the eusocial naked mole rats affects food allocation.[7][8] In 2000, he published work hypothesising that morning sickness could be an adaptation that protects the developing fetus from foodborne illnesses, some of which can cause miscarriage or birth defects, such as listeriosis and toxoplasmosis.[3][2]
