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”

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

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
