Overview
Adaptive Human Behavior and Physiology is no longer accepting submissions and will discontinue publishing on January 1, 2026. We have moved our community over to the journal Human Nature, where longtime AHBP Associate Editor David Puts has joined the leadership team. Together, David and HN Editor-in-Chief Louis Alvarado are working to merge the journals and create a new space that continues to serve both communities at the highest standards. We would love to receive your work at HN, and invite you to submit to us. In case of any questions, please feel free to reach out to David, Louis, or the publisher directly.
