The 23nd annual meetings of the Human Behavior and Evolution Society will be held at Montpellier, France from June 29th to July 3rd, 2011. 

Along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea in southern France, Montpellier has everything it takes to please. A lively and surprising city in the heart of the Languedoc-Roussillon region, Montpellier is vibrant, elegant and artistic. People are drawn here by the city's rich past, former and contemporary glory, intense cultural life and youthful feel. Its sunny climate and well-preserved historical environment are second to none, nestled between the sea, vineyards and mountain landscapes. As a result of Montpellier's long university tradition, nearly 70,000 students reside in the immediate area. Because of this youthful influence, or rather thanks to it, there is an abundance of festivals, cafés and other encounters just waiting to happen. Known internationally for its world-class medical schools, whose long-standing tradition dates back the middle ages, Montpellier is well practiced in the art of welcoming people.

We are pleased to announce that this year's Keynote Address will be presented by Randy Nesse, and that Plenary Speakers include Samuel Bowles, Sarah Hdry; Jean-Marie Hombert, Tim Clutton-Brock, Frank Marlowe and Andrew Whiten.
