Excellent new paper which clearly explains how “a gene-culture coevolution perspective can refute reductionist & determinist claims while providing an inclusive multidisciplinary framework to interpret human variation”

New paper on @PNASNews led by @SimonCarrignon with Anne Kandler and Stephen Shennan, where we explore the impact of post-marital residence rules and resocialisation in cultural hitchhiking

Memory, forgetting & social learning. Simulation model shows how groups can keep relevant information around within & across generations. Study by Madeleine Ammar, @LaurelFogarty & Anne Kandler @tice_lab@MPI_EVA_Leipzig. See https://t.co/jXLAadGF7u & soon https://t.co/3uIu0dH3XD
New paper with Anne Kandler and @LaurelFogarty on "The interplay between age structure and cultural transmission" out now in @PLOSCompBiol. We've explored the impact of population age structure on cultural transmission.

At home but watching fantastic talks at #cesconf2022. Ammar, Fogarty, & Kandler talking about the evolution of memory and social learning in response to environmental change regimes
Check out the lab's latest paper from @dominik_deffner @LaurelFogarty and Anne Kandler #PLOSCompBio: Effective population size for culturally evolving traits https://t.co/eiCAx5fBGL
Memory preserves cultural variation by facilitating adaptation (with help of social learning). Forgetting evolves to higher rates in stable environments (acts as a structuring component); social learning favored regardless of environment👩🏽🏫 Madeleine Ammar @tice_lab
Take a look at this new addition to our popular Ten Simple Rules series, "Ten simple rules for principled simulation modelling" from Fogarty and colleagues: https://t.co/w2VL0qpJs8

The 🎄🎅🎄 season is approaching, and @MPI_EVA_Leipzig our wonderful and creative colleague Silke Streiber has decorated the Christmas tree for our staff and visitors to enjoy. This year in green! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
PhD position open in the 'Theory in Cultural Evolution' lab (A. Kandler, @LaurelFogarty, @_JustinYeh) @MPI_EVA_Leipzig to "develop models of cultural evolution focusing on the process of cultural adaptation" (deadline 12 Aug) https://t.co/Mz92CYsoKF
