This action is to recommend a Presidential Young                           Investigator Award for Dr. Barbara Smuts.  Dr. Smuts has embarked               on an outstanding career in which her research spans at least two               major disciplines, anthropology and psychobiology.  Her field                   research on social relationships in baboons has invigorated and                 brought methodological discipline to the study of free-living                   non-human primates.  This work has been extremely quantitative                  and sheds light on the study of human social relationships as                   well as illuminating evolutionary perspectives on the functional                significance of social interactions.  Her current research                      investigates the evolutionary relationship between complex social               organization and the intelligence through comparisons of social                 cognition in chimpanzees and dolphins.  Because humans and apes                 on the one hand, and the toothed whales on the other, have                      evolved large brains and complex societies independently, a                     comparative study should provide insights that cannot be obtained               by studying either group on its own.  Dr. Smuts is at the                       forefront of quantitative research involving social relationships               and her work will undoubtedly change the way we view patterns of                friendship, alliance, and cooperation, the existence of long term               affiliations of male and female outside the mating context, and                 the import and nature of male-infant relationships.
