I’ve told that you can already read The University We Need on Google Books. I can’t vouch for this, but on Amazon the publication date is July 10th.
I suspect the field of cultural evolution is going to become big in the next ten years, breaking out its relatively rarified ghetto. If you haven’t, I’d recommend The Secret of Our Success by Joe Henrich.
The older, more technical books, are Cultural Transmission and Evolution, Culture and the Evolutionary Process.
I noticed the other day that the spam filter was a little overactive recently. Just in case you notice comments not going through….
Hey. Do you know anything on the status on the Imperial Rome paper brought up in that meeting you attended? Did it talk about just haplogroups when it came to ancestry?
Don’t mate unless you see the whites of their eyes!
The spam filter was going nuts?
I just thought my comment was just too low quality and got canned 😉
yeah. your comment was one of them, but not only one. no links or anything either.
hey razib
care to propose an evolutionary explanation for incelism? inquiring minds have no lives and so plenty of time to wonder about such things.
Ideas on the idea put forth by Reich and Lazaridis that PIE, before Anatolian languages split off, might have arrived in the steppe via the Caucasus, and that Anataolian split was one group staying behind while the ancestors of the other IE languages moved to the steppe and spread out from there?
Another good modern cultural evolution book is Kevin Laland, Darwin’s Unfinished Symphony: How Culture Made the Human Mind (Princeton, 2017). Good at least for content. I didn’t think it was very well written.
