1) My book, Modeling Social Behavior: Mathematical and Agent-Based Models of Social Dynamics and Cultural Evolution, will be coming out in late summer 2023 from @PrincetonUPress. I’ll post more about it wherever I’m posting as the publication date gets closer.

AUTOBOMBO ALERT 🚨 Our paper with @silkevandaalen and @HalCaswell analyzing the role of individual stochasticity in the life history strategies of animals and plants is right out of the oven 🐻🐳🌲🌻…basically, variability matters 😛https://t.co/k38iDEQhol

Fab talk @DrElenaMiu on tradeoffs in support types between & within alters in female networks which may shed light on changes in transmission of cultural info during the demographic transition #EHBEA2022 @BirthRites

Check out important new work by our affiliated postdoc @clare_mcfadden_ on infant mortality and mothering in early human societies! 🎉👏🤩

[ANU Media @ANUmedia]

We all know mums rock. But it turns out mothers may have been taking good care of their kids for more than 10,000 years. 🦸‍♀️

New #ANUExpert research debunks old assumptions that infant mortality rates were consistently high in early human societies.
