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

New paper out today!! Study led by our wonderful student Madeleine Ammar -> Memory and social learning!

[MPI-EVA Leipzig @MPI_EVA_Leipzig]

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 from the lab with our amazing collaborator @FolgertK - age structure and cultural transmission!

[Folgert Karsdorp @FolgertK]

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

[Dr. Samin Gokcekus @samingokcekus]

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
