Since it is the end of the year, here is a very long and self-indulgent thread on all the articles I wrote over the last 12 monthshttps://traditionsofconflict.com/

"While engaged on a hunting expedition, these hunters...glide along in single file, avoiding every leafy twig the rustling of which might betray their presence...At such times all tread in the footprints of the first man..."pic.twitter.com/K4piPRIR4u

"The bear is the only animal the Veddas really fear...at least one man in each community we visited bore marks of the bear's paws. Bear's flesh is not eaten though they sometimes kill one that has attacked them. Hence the bear is called the "enemy" n his name is seldom mentioned"pic.twitter.com/s1jp8nYoan

"As opposed to a canalized human life history strategy, this study suggests potential developmental plasticity in traits associated with foraging skill, which manifest not just in contemporary settings but potentially in ancestral settings as well." https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/574483v1 …pic.twitter.com/m4v2ysmanx

Mead was like the Einstein of anthropology--not the real world Albert Einstein of course, but like the way he was portrayed in that Family Guy episode where he slugs this guy who comes into the patent office and takes his work. https://twitter.com/aeonmag/status/1219605800089505798 …pic.twitter.com/jL1q28xZRA

Yeah things look bad and there's little reason to be optimistic on this front. I believe social scientists who do cross-cultural or evo work have a responsibility to seriously engage w/ the ethnographic evidence relevant to their topics, but many seem to think differently https://twitter.com/LTF_01/status/1220231742705016832 …pic.twitter.com/6mxUc6gXtz

"As elsewhere in Europe, war underpinned leadership in the late Roman n early medieval periods in northern Britain...elites in early medieval northern Britain were first n foremost leaders in war, with leadership-in-conflict one of the main qualities sought among aspiring rulers"pic.twitter.com/Df61wz3Bxi

When I used this method from the a GWAS on educational attainment using between family effect sizes I saw signals of divergent selection, like hereditarians claim, but when I used within-family effect sizes the signal completely disappearedpic.twitter.com/g2ob1tGIsQ

"our ability to perform GWAS to identify loci underlying variation in traits among individuals vastly outstrips our ability to understand the causal mechanisms underlying these differences. In many cases, genetic contributions may not be separable from [environment and culture]." https://twitter.com/Graham_Coop/status/1169284809232748545 …pic.twitter.com/7qDbb6GuN6

PGS offers an amazing tool for all sorts of research, including social sciences, but they are not a magic bullet and we should be very sceptical of anyone who seeks easy answers to policy questions from them

Reminded me of R. Dale Guthrie's argument that much of the Paleolithic art that has been discovered is basically just doodling by young males https://twitter.com/ferrisjabr/status/1220788720166559745 …pic.twitter.com/gzmJnrnp4j

Very little about human history makes sense if you believe human beings cannot be moved by the deaths of people they've never met. https://twitter.com/ajdhenry/status/1221542041970270210 …pic.twitter.com/O3M9aucI3i

"Baboons, the most versatile of animal polyglots, eavesdrop on G/wi hunters and pass on the plans of the hunters to the intended prey animals. This is not altruism but is caused by the baboons' legendary love of trickery and teasing." https://twitter.com/Evolving_Moloch/status/1220789633597919232 …pic.twitter.com/Gn0MIzOoEw

"[Innovation] happens where people are relatively prosperous, not desperate."- I tend to think this is generally true, and it's another aspect of why I think the logic behind the 'cold winters' hypothesis is badly flawed https://traditionsofconflict.com/blog/2020/1/12/ethnographic-evidence-conflicts-with-the-cold-winters-hypothesis … https://twitter.com/mattwridley/status/1221133126501568513 …pic.twitter.com/lPb3jmHxex

"You have to be sly with the animals, you must pretend to be talking about someone else; by fooling the game this way, you somehow annul man's aggressiveness n wipe out the fatal act. The hunter's chanting seals the secret agreement between men n animals." https://traditionsofconflict.com/blog/2020/1/23/contests-between-equals-men-and-beasts …pic.twitter.com/Juw1ksAJC9

I think this conclusion is right. Love this figure but I think in practice the three boxes to the left tend to be under-utilized in a lot of evo psych work (as Smith n Hagen both agree), which is why I think critiques like Smith can be valuable despite the over-the-top conclusion https://twitter.com/ed_hagen/status/1220752571838558208 …pic.twitter.com/fuPfZPLl9E

"Hunting is part of the battle for survival, and the hunted animal is an adversary in the contest of the hunt, not something that exists specially for man to prey upon."https://twitter.com/Evolving_Moloch/status/1220789633597919232 …
