Marc Hauser
FameRank: 4

"Marc D. Hauser" is an American evolutionary biologist and a researcher in primate behavior, animal cognition and human behavior. Hauser was a Harvard University professor from 1998 to 2011, regarded as "a leader in the field of animal and human cognition".

In 2011, Harvard found him guilty of scientific misconduct and he resigned. Because his research was financed by government grants, the United States Office of Research Integrity/Office of Research Integrity of the Health and Human Services Department also investigated, reaching the same conclusion in 2012.
