With @Evolving_Moloch, @FinchesofDarwin, and my Master's advisor, I published my master's thesis as a paper on Aggressive Mimicry as a Human Hunting Strategy, highlighting how people around the world mimic prey, and its importance for human evolution.

This one was a long time coming, glad it's out. With @Evolving_Moloch@FinchesofDarwin
& @Dyep76
Humans worldwide mimic their prey to deceive them. We highlight examples of this from the ethnographic record and speculate its role in cognitive evolution.

#TheMenu was spectacular. Hilarious and brilliant from ‘appetizer to dessert’ with incredible performances across the board. It starts with its foot on the gas and never lets up, not a wasted moment.
Top 5 of the year. Please support fun original films like this

Many birds are rather excellent mimics. Some, like the northern shrike, even mimic the calls of other birds in order to lure them in as prey.

Humans worldwide mimic their prey's signals to deceive them. We believe this is important for the evolution of deception, theory of mind, and language.
To show you, here's a thread of our favorite examples:
