Applying cultural evolution to improve science… Quoted feed from @psmaldino Sometimes, when you meet a Nature editor at a conference and start ranting about theory and measurement, they ask you to write about it. Here’s a very short thing I wrote. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

On the importance of synthesizing knowledge about cultural evolution using complex systems approaches… Quoted feed from @acerbialberto Important paper from @AndrewBuskell et al. on cultural evolution. I had myself started to work about similar things in Stockholm, and it is great to see the developments! nature.com/articles/s41599-0…

Thank you for this summary of what cooperation means… and why it is so fundamental to understanding cultural evolution. Quoted feed from @AthenaAktipis You are literally made of cooperation. Want to learn more? I sum it up in one minute: vimeo.com/368847221

Intriguing to ponder the cultural evolution of academic research in seemingly related fields of human study… Quoted feed from @MichaelESmith Thanks for the link. I resigned from the AAA over their removal of “science” from the mission statement. I don’t find much of use for my research in anthropology any more, so I don’t bother

Sharing this talk again about the root causes of ecological crisis and the role of bioregional learning centers for weaving a tapestry of regeneration across the Earth… youtu.be/qbCZmzw_01c

This deep exchange between @David_S_Wilson and Jonathan Birch about the history and philosophy of social evolution is great for those seeking subtle-yet-profound insights into the field… evolution-institute.org/mast…

This talk explores a sobering challenge to humanity achieving planetary sustainability… and offers clarity about how we might get there if we embrace our evolved history as a species. youtu.be/9698n19W_v8

A key aspect of understanding how cultural systems evolved in the past is to accurately characterize their developmental history… Quoted feed from @jasonhickel Economists call them “underdeveloped countries”, but this is a misnomer that obscures the power relations that have produced this condition. A more accurate term would be “historically plundered countries”.
