New paper from ERC grant FACEDIFF!

New paper reviewing the cross-species evidence for Konrad Lorenz' "baby schema, with Yuri Kawaguchi! Could it be a uniquely human trait? Yuri_Kawaguchi Evolution and Social Interaction Group NTU Psychology NTU School of Social Sciences royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

📢Call for collaboration Do you have primate face images🐵? We are starting a project exploring the form and function of 'babyness' in primate faces. Contact us if you can help! yurikawaguchi.weebly.com/baby-face-proj… Bridget Waller

Our new paper shows that facial expressivity in dominant macaques is linked to group cohesion, suggesting a social bonding function of facial expression!

We are still looking for face images! Send DM to me if you think you may have! Thankfully, we already have enough numbers of images of rhesus macaques, Japanese macaques, common marmosets, Javan slow lorises, (chimpanzees).

Thanks to many collaborators, we got face images of lots of primates😊! If your species are not listed blue below and you have images of them to share with us, please send me DM or email! Green...need only immature images, Orange...need both adult and immature images.

Excited to share our latest paper on dogs' cross-modal age perception! This is my first study focused on non-primate animals🐕✨ Check it out here: psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-26…

Are bonobos really hippie apes? Are chimps war-mongers? I wrote a short piece for Learning & Behavior, spotlighting exciting new findings that start to build a clearer picture of the differences between the social lives of our two closest relatives! rdcu.be/dUS2H

🐒 Baby monkeys who receive more care from their mothers develop stronger facial expression recognition skills as they grow, which could help them to navigate vital social groups.

I'm absolutely thrilled to have been awarded the BBSRC Fellowship! Huge thanks to my amazing host, Bridget Waller !!
