State formation across cultures and the role of grain, intensive agriculture, taxation and writing. nature.com/articles/s4156…

The invention of agriculture (around 9,000 years ago) spurred the rise of early states? NO. Our research nature.com/articles/s41... (with @DrQueue ) in Nature Human Behaviour supports an alternative theory that States almost invariably formed in societies that grew cereal grains.

Out this week in Science Advances, our long-awaited Grambank paper, documenting global variation in grammar across 2400 languages. 10 years' work by an amazing team (too many to mention in one tweet). We have to protect this linguistic diversity - science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Our paper showing how responses to COVID-19 across the political landscape make more sense when you consider the dual dimensions of political ideology...
Kyle Fischer@Arkyfish

My study with @DrQueue & @ProfAnanish on political ideology & covid attitudes, showing for example that high-RWA conservatives were pro-lockdown & high-SDO conservatives were anti-lockdown, has been published in the British Journal of Political Science! cambridge.org/core/journals/…
