Mathilde Tahar is a researcher in philosophy of biology. She obtained her PhD from the University of Toulouse II and the Muséum national d’histoire naturelle in 2022, where she explored the epistemology of evolutionary theory. Since then, her research has centred on the role of animal agency in evolution.

She is currently a researcher in the Department of Evolutionary Anthropology at University College London (UCL), funded by a Leverhulme Trust Fellowship. Her current work investigates play and inventiveness in non-human animals (especially in chacma baboons).
