Humans might have developed a system of conventional signs already 40,000 years ago (with sign sequences having a complexity comparable to the earliest protocuneiform) pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.25…

“Not only do different orca groups have different cultures, they’ve evolved biologically in response to those cultures. This is the first confirmed case of gene-culture coevolution in a nonhuman animal.” stevestewartwilliams.com/p/s…

Why do humans exhibit such a striking right-hand preference? We studied 41 anthropoid species, revealing #Homosapiens as an evolutionary outlier & identifying #bipedalism & #brain expansion as likely drivers of human lateralization @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4ufOvWJ

Escaped the snow in Baltimore to go to the #Scialog conference in Neurobiology and Changing Ecosystems in Tucson, Arizona. Excited for 4 days of networking and lots of science chats with other #ScialogFellows! Thanks @RCSA1 for this opportunity!
