What's really clear from today's #CES2026 - #HBES2026 panel is how much we've come to work together, across the evolutionary social & behavioral sciences. Monique Borgerhoff Mulder sums it up: "The gaps between evolutionary psychology, human behavior ecology, & cultural evolution have narrowed"
Talking of talks, if you are at #CES2026 come by the session on "Modes of Cultural Transmission" to see my talk on new methods we've been developing to measure imitation from naturalistic footage!
Also featuring Francesco d'Errico, @ctennie.bsky.social, Yo Nakawake, and @arielevy.bsky.social
Anne Pisor

Helps you stay on time before even starting practicing it!
