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…

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 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Celebrating 50 years of Quantitative Cultural Evolution! 🥳 @PNASNews Special Feature explores origins, development & future of this multidisciplinary research field. @tice_lab @CreanzaLab @MPI_EVA_Leipzig @Stanford @VanderbiltU tinyurl.com/5y4ekwy7 & pnas.org/topic/565

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

New paper from the lab with our amazing collaborator @FolgertK - age structure and 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 dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

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

Madeleine Ammar @tice_lab on the evolution of memory capacities and its implications for cultural evolution #EHBEA2022

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: plos.io/3KblTaz

Our collective group effort addressing some basics for simulation modelling: #PLOSCompBio: Ten simple rules for principled simulation modelling dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

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! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Reminder that the deadline for applications for our open PhD position is Monday!! Project description and details here: eva.mpg.de/ecology/positi…
