Scientists should stop arguing about whether science is political and get on with defending science against increasingly powerful attacks on it, which, yes, means scientists should be political advocates 👇🔥
Agustín Fuentes@Anthrofuentes

"Being purely reactive to political attacks (only playing defense) or assuming an artificial air of neutrality and seeking to “stay on the sidelines” are both ethically problematic and practically detrimental." science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

I had a wonderful meeting this morning with the extraordinary biological anthropologist, author and TV presenter @theAliceRoberts. Very pleased that Alice has agreed to Chair the Advisory Committee for our initiative “Transforming Human Origins Research”!

New study shows how niche construction affects the evolution of remembering and forgetting. Niche construction is found to reduce or stabilize environmental volatility when learned environmental resources can be monopolized. In other conditions niche destructors evolve. doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2… 📷

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” Genes, culture & scientific racism pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

In this article (shorturl.at/PmTT0) University of St Andrews Professor Kevin N. Lala explores what evolutionary biology tells us about the impact of culture on human behavior, and what that means for efforts to lead complex organizations more effectively. "Human minds were not just built for culture, they were built by culture," Lala writes. "For our species, cultural solutions dominate because culture is the component of our evolutionary adaptability that functions to cope with rapidly changing features of the environment." For more from Kevin Lala, you can order his just-published book, "Evolution Evolving: The Developmental Origins of Adaptation and Biodiversity," here: evolutionevolving.org

“the problem turned out to be not that heritability was imaginary, but rather that it was misinterpreted as supporting a hereditarian model of human behavioral differences, when in fact it does not”
