"Together, Hill and Boyd see a need to synthesize both adaptive behavioral ecology and cultural evolution approaches into a singular, integrated, evolutionary approach to understanding human behavioral variation." phys.org/news/2021-01-p…

Are you a young scholar working on the topic of environmental influences on organisms and bodies, or on epigenetics, microbiome research and/or nutrition from philosophical, historical, anthropological or sociological perspectives? Then this message is for you 1/2

Join us for what will certainly be a very stimulating next talk in the #HumanNiche series @MPI_SHH, with Melinda Zeder exploring the relevance of #archaeology and #domestication studies to the extended evolutionary synthesis. All welcome! Sign up here: human-niche.com

Tomorrow the workshop "#PostgenomicDeterminisms: Enviromental Narratives after the Century of the Gene" will kick off! We will have exciting talks by Tatjana Buklijas, Javier Suárez HPSB, Beth Greenhough (she/her) & Jamie Lorimer (among others not on Twitter). Follow updates with that hashtag!

I agree completely with this approach. Evolution is the “fate of transmissible information in an economic context.” Embraces somatic evolution (cancer, immune system, etc) and all facets of cultural evolution. Probably more! Broadens understanding in both research and education!

Happy #DarwinDay! Chiara Pertile, Andrea Parravicini and I, as guest editors, have a cool special issue under construction for azimuthjournal.com: n19 (2022): #Darwin's Tangled Legacy. Philosophical Coordinates in Modern and Contemporary Age". Stay tuned! 🧐👀

The special issue co-edited by Andrea Parravicini, Chiara Pertile and I is finally out in Azimuth! A rich volume entirely dedicated to #Darwin's legacy and #evolutionarytheory in philosophical focus. A big thank you to all the authors for making this lil wild volume possible!

Man-Made Futures : Conrad Hal Waddington, Biological Theory, and the #Anthropocene. KLI fellow Alejandro Fábregas Tejeda & coauthor Francisco Vergara-Silva took a closer look at the late works of CH Waddington in evolutionary theory, human ecology, and "Man-made Future" studies. azimuthjournal.com/2022/10/05/dar…

LOOK AT OUR YOUNG INSPIRING JOURNALISTS! Chiara Pertile is one of 20 young journalists from 14 #European countries taking part at this year's #M100YEJ on "Reporting on Climate Change" in Potsdam.

I'm very grateful and happy to have contributed to this issue with my article "A New Factor in Evolution: dall’eclissi del darwinismo alla selezione organica di James Mark Baldwin". More information: pikaia.eu/e-da-oggi-in-l…

Lala et als Evolution Evolving describes how culture is well-documented in a wide range of animals, including invertebrates. Like some other forms of extra-genetic inheritance, culture is a central tool for short-term, rapid response evolutionary adaptation Princeton University Press @princetonupress.bsky.s

10 yrs since the Nature evolution debate, the article is cited >1000 times. Another specifying the structure, assumptions and predictions of an extended evolutionary synthesis is cited >1400 times (doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2…). Such citation must mean something.
