The official academic journal of the society is Evolution and Human Behavior,[3] and the society has held annual conferences since 1989.[4]

The membership in broadly international, and consists of scholars from many fields, such as psychology, anthropology, medicine, law, philosophy, biology, economics and sociology. Despite the diversity, HBES members "all speak the common language of Darwinism."[1]
