Genes & culture & coevolution, oh my
EvoAnth MSc @ Oxford
Bio PhD @ St Andrews (w/ Kevin Lala) | Oxford | Stanford
Opinions are my mom’s due to vertical cultural transmission - he/him.
A worse offender in this regard I think is “cultural genomics” which, in my reading, is just dual inheritance theory (but also not in particularly broad use)

Rohan is right I think - I came across sociogenomics when I first started working on my PhD and optimistically set a Google scholar alert for the key word, but I don’t think they are as interested in evolutionary timescales as they are in bringing behaviour genetics into the sociological mainstream.

Here's my favorite from this semester - a meme about why we grow old and die.

Happy to be here - Twatter truly seems like an increasingly hopeless place to be an ECR.

Agreed. Almost crazy to think that Marc (and collaborators ofc - singling him out here as he’s on the paper) has been banging that particular drum for the better part of the last 50 years now.
