Why the Hominin Cognitive Niche Was and Is a Crucially Socio-cognitive Niche

Tooby and deVore argued that hominin evolution hinged on the exploitation of a unique 'cognitive niche'. We propose that a diversity of evidence indicates this was fundamentally a socio-cognitive niche.

Embodiment: Taking Sociality Seriously

A very wise person of our acquaintance once said, 'Read old books to get new ideas'.
New Thinking: Advances in the Study of Human Cognitive Evolution

Cortico-cerebellar Evolution and the Distributed Neural Basis of Cognition

Biologists interested in cognitive evolution have focussed on the dramatic expansion of the forebrain, particularly the neocortex, in lineages such as primates.

A New Comparative Psychology

In their classic 1969 paper Hodos and Campbell bemoaned the absence of appropriate evolutionary theory in comparative psychology. In this talk I will argue that despite the advent of Evolutionary Psychology the situation has changed only a little today.

The Mystery of Cumulative Culture

Human demographic and ecological success is frequently attributed to our capacity for cumulative culture, which allows human knowledge and technology to build up and improve over time.
New Thinking: Advances in the Study of Human Cognitive Evolution

Cultural Inheritance of Cultural Learning

It is widely acknowledged that the cumulative cultural inheritance of technological skills and social practices has played a major role in shaping the ways of life of modern humans.
