Brian Hayden has developed and tested hypotheses to explain how complex human social organization emerged in egalitarian societies. He argues that ambitious individuals create multiple strategies to acquire prestige and social power, notably through manipulation of surpluses and possession of arcane knowledge, and that these ambitions transform societies. His fieldwork throughout the world provides an empirical basis for hypotheses that explore the origins of agriculture, the function of religion, and the emergence of social inequality. Controversial and influential, his work has been widely published.

Daphne Maurer is an internationally acclaimed researcher who has examined long-standing scientific and philosophical issues regarding the perceptual world of infants. Professor Maurer's research overturned William James' view that infants experienced a 'blooming, buzzing confusion', and instead perceived an organized world of forms and colours.

Daphne's work during the past three decades has described these perceptual changes and linked them to anatomical and physiological changes in the brains of infants and children with and without visual abnormalities. She is one of the most highly regarded developmental scientists in the world today.
