Quite pleased with this paper. Usually in #culturalevolution experiments, people choose who to copy. We flipped it so that people chose with whom to share their information. Sharers got reputation increases for sharing, which we expected would allow partner choice, i.e. people share with sharers.
Cumulative cultural evolution is facilitated by relatively indiscriminate information sharing rather than reputation-based partner choice: https://doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/jt8fg_v1

Wild orangutan diets are mastered via cultural learning. Modeling confirms social absence halts full dietary acquisition, indicating cumulative culture's deep evolutionary roots in great apes. #Hominidae #CulturalEvolution #PrimateStudies
New research shows wild orangutans rely on cultural learning to master hundreds of foods. Without social guidance, simulated apes fail to develop full diets, revealing ancient roots of cultural accumulation. #Primatology #Culture #Evolution #Anthropology www.primatology.net/p/the-appren...
The Apprenticeship of the Forest
New research shows that young orangutans inherit a cultural archive of edible plants and animals far too extensive for any individual to discover alone.

The appearance of symbolic material culture is often linked to the evolution of complex, 'modern' human minds.
In an article soon to be formally published in BBS, I reconsider this link, and argue that modern humans needn't leave any such evidence. A thread.

This was the jumpstart event for a major focus of my research going forward, together with many excellent collaborators (those in attendance and many others). I’m so grateful for the opportunity to put this together, and i hope for more events to come. #culturalevolution
Traditional models of cultural evolution haven’t held up in the face of modern-day constructs like social media and easy global travel. Last month, @psmaldino.bsky.social and collaborators convened a working group to build new models for the 21st century.
