#EHBEA2022 "Women's social attitudes and preferences might be more stable and less hormonally influenced than previously assumed" Julia Stern

Fascinating data on physical activity among the BaYaka presented by Luke Kretschmer. Males and females: similar volumes of activity, but differ in intensity. Most active groups: young adults and children. Possible tradeoff in pop'n btwn activity and early maturation #EHBEA2022

How to explain geographic variation in empathy? Evidence from Sarah Nila of UCL for variation due to religious beliefs, gender, age and SES in an Indonesian population. Multiple hypotheses to explore! #EHBEA2022

Great talk by Luke Kretschmer on BaYaka activity patterns - children are highly active, interesting given their need to invest in growth! UCL Anthropology #EHBEA2022

What drives political inequality? Chris von Rueden presents detailed tests of the effects of 3 market integration-related pathways among the Tsimane: private capital -> less cooperation ❌, ⬆️ pop size -> demand for leadership ✅, labour patronage ❌ #EHBEA2022

WEBINAR: next up in our Evolutionary Demography seminar series will be Akanksha Marphatia, presenting on "A biosocial perspective on women’s early marriage in rural India and Nepal" 12:30 (UK time) Tuesday 26 April All welcome lshtm.ac.uk/newsevents/eve…

We hope so too 😉! Be sure to stay until the end #EHBEA2022 #EHBEA2023

Important work from Zhian Chen investigating Tanzanian men’s perceptions of support for gender norms. Men consistently underestimate the % of their male peers who support female empowerment. Result backed up by a novel survey method (wives’ views of husbands’ beliefs) #EHBEA2022

Men substantially underestimate other men’s support for women’s empowerment in a Tanzanian study, according to Zhian Chen, maybe because they misrepresent their views to each other to uphold masculinity norms #EHBEA2022

Everyone is riveted for the last plenary of #EHBEA2022 by the incomparable Hillard Kaplan speaking on “The embarrassment of riches” theory of brain ageing, with hypothesis tests in two Native South American populations.

Creating spaces such that everyone, not only the rich, find comfort, safety, and pleasure in using human-powered mobility strategies is key to both sustainability & health. Beautiful vision from a leader of the field, Hillard Kaplan. #EHBEA2022

As of 10 mins ago, I am no longer VP of EHBEA. I've never finished a service role so happy- not cos I'm glad to be rid it (tho it's been an eventful 4 years!) but because I feel a real sense of having achieved something worthwhile, and I know @jbaptistandre.bsky.social will do the same. 1/

It’s all over, time to relax. Thanks for all your engagement and hard work in so many different ways! And see you all in London next year!!! Over and out 😉

A 🧵 of thanks to the organisers of #EHBEA2022, especially but not only Heidi Colleran 🇮🇪 🐈 Adam Powell & TICELab, who did a truly amazing job under the challenging conditions of a continuing pandemic 🎉 1/n x.com/ehbea2022/stat…
