Quantifying and modeling social learning processes in monkey populations (2007)
Journal Article
Kendal, J., Kendal, R., & Laland, K. (2007). Quantifying and modeling social learning processes in monkey populations

Putative traditions in animal opulations remain unsubstantiated in the absence of methods to isolate the mechanisms of social transmission in social groups. Here we address this problem by quantifying the effect of two social learning processes, name... Read More about Quantifying and modeling social learning processes in monkey populations.

Primate brain architecture and selection in relation to sex (2007)
Journal Article
Lindenfors, P., Nunn, C., & Barton, R. (2007). Primate brain architecture and selection in relation to sex. BMC Biology, 5(20), https://doi.org/10.1186/1741-7007-5-20

Background: Social and competitive demands often differ between the sexes in mammals. These differing demands should be expected to produce variation in the relative sizes of various brain structures. Sexual selection on males can be predicted to inf...

Journal Article
Laland, K., Kendal, J., & Brown, G. (2007). The niche construction perspective: implications for human behaviour. Journal of cultural and evolutionary psychology, 5(1-4), 51-66. https://doi.org/10.1556/jep.2007.1003

The vibrancy of the field of evolution and human behaviour belies the fact that the majority of social scientists are deeply unhappy with evolutionary accounts of human behaviour. In part, this reflects a problem within evolutionary biology: neo-Darw... Read More about The niche construction perspective: implications for human behaviour.
