📢📢New preprint out now! 📢📢Nonadjacent dependencies and syntactic structure of chimpanzee actions during a naturalistic tool-use task. Follow link for paper (and explanation in this thread)! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Roll up roll up! Please RT.
Corvids calling! New PhD opportunity on corvid communication in the wild. Sep 2025 start. Fully funded by @SWBio_DTP Application deadline 11 December. How to apply: tinyurl.com/mu9y2nj9 @SHOALgroup @InesFuertbauer @NeeltjeBoogert @SimonWTownsend
TOMORROW Tuesday 3.30-5 DFL @UCLanthropology Elliot Howard-Spink @ElliotHowaSpi 🐒 on “Landscapes of cultural accumulation in animals”
Our Evolutionary Anthropology research seminars (Tuesday afternoons) are listed here - come along ucl.ac.uk/anthropology/e…
A new paper arguing that the uniqueness of human culture is not based on it being cumulative (only) but open ended: nature.com/articles/s4156…
Anyone have any resources of how to make graphs prettier? I have a lime graph which is perfectly fine but I want it to also look 💫swish💫
In this we find that newborns (from day 1!) and 6mo infants can process non-adjacent dependencies. Intriguingly, they recruit different brain regions to do so... This builds on our earlier work, in which we found this capacity is likely evolutionarily ancient (at least 40mya!)
New paper out @PLOSBiology: using an artificial grammar-based approach we investigated the neuro-developmental origins of non-adjacent dependency learning w/Lin Cai,@babellab_vienna @ChimpsAhoi, Yasuyo Minagawa et al @UZH_Science @NCCR_Language @snsf_ch journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…
PhD Studentship available I am looking for a student to study the 'Quality and function of affiliative actions in non-human primates' - if you are interested in primate sociality, communication, and relationships, get in touch! findaphd.com/phds/project/q…
The call for abstracts for our winter meeting is open! 🐒 🦧 This year's conference will be hosted at @BrisZooSociety and will centre on the theme 'New Directions in Primatology'. To submit an abstract, download a form from our website: buff.ly/3TxCJqX. Deadline 4th Oct!
Want to get your hands on some cool primate society merchandise? Check out our shop! buff.ly/3AEBPjn Our products are sustainably made, and the money raised helps to support the activities of our society, including funding research and conservation!
New research on wild lion social ageing! Amazing results from long term data by @laurenrudd18 ox.ac.uk/news/2024-08-0…
📢My second PhD study (co-authored w/ @chammeeno, @Arran_Davis, Tetsuro Matsuzawa, and @carvalhoprimate) is now out as a preprint!📢 We show that early social learning experiences, like tolerance and peering, shape chimps' future stone tool use efficiency: doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…
Looking to join us for our upcoming meeting hosted by Bristol Zoological Society? Put the dates in your calendar for the 12th and 13th December 2024.
I'm extremely happy to see this finally out: my entry on Biological Information for the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. plato.stanford.edu/entries/inform… To be honest, this is like a dream come true.
❗️New paper🐒🪨🔎❗️Interested in chimps, capuchins, macaques, nut-cracking, or archaeology? Have a look! We studied nut-cracking behaviour and the relation to damage patterns on stone hammers and anvils. nature.com/articles/s4159… What we found: 1/6
Field Assistant Wanted! Do you want to study wild orangutans?🦧🌿 Come join us!
As part of the 2024/25 IAS Major Project 'Syntactical Structures and the Evolution of Mind and Culture', we welcome PI and evolutionary anthropologist, Prof Rob Barton @howbrainsevolve as one of the IAS's Christopherson Knott Fellows. See durham.ac.uk/staff/r-a-bart… @AnthDurham1
Don't forget to include your therapist, driving instructor, and school teachers in your thesis acknowledgements.
Sooooo close to matching these up but it seems I need to make the one on the right bolder (ggeffects) but not as bold as adding 'face = 'bold'' :-(((
