New paper out on cultural specialization! We suggest that when different people in a population know different things it can increase the population's overall cultural repertoire, but also make it more susceptible to loss royalsocietypublishing.org/d…

Abstract. The transition to specialization of knowledge within populations could have facilitated the accumulation of cultural complexity in humans. Specia

Fantastic talk by fellow @CreanzaLab member @pichkary on cultural barriers to gene flow in “homogeneous” England! Nailed the lightning talk format. Great to see this project out in the world. #CESConf2022 @CulturalEvolSoc

Side note: Follow-up work with @CreanzaLab and @AndreaRavignani @alyssascartozzi suggests a degree of common genomic substrates shared between human beat synchronization and songbird vocal learning, suggesting convergent evolution royalsocietypublishing.org/d…

Linking the genomic signatures of human beat synchronization and learned song in birds

Abstract. The development of rhythmicity is foundational to communicative and social behaviours in humans and many other species, and mechanisms of synchro

Today's the day, folks. Please send us your abstracts for @CulturalEvolSoc mtg this Sept in Aarhus. Officially deadline is July 1 11.59 CEST but we're softies and built a few hours leeway into the submission system, so just get 'em in. It's gonna be a fun event. Pls rt!

I got rhythm... A molecular genetic study of beat synchronization in >600k individuals, by @MNiarchou, Reyna Gordon & colleagues, is the first largescale systematic investigation of genomics of a musicality trait, & it's published today in @NatureHumBehav: nature.com/articles/s41562-0…

(1) Swamp sparrows increase the trill rate of slowed songs (@davidclahti: bit.ly/3LF7wvN). I incorporated biased transformation of trill rate into the model using @zononotes and @CreanzaLab's modified version of the Price equation (bit.ly/3MQ2mNX).

Why not start your morning with the calls of the Golden-crowned Sparrow? New story showing that population size may be driving bird song #evolution by @CreanzaLab & @zononotes! Country singers aren't the only ones having music analyzed in Nashville! 🎶🎼🎙️ vanderbilt.edu/evolution/res…

Researchers suggest that complex bird songs might require large populations

This week's trainee profile is @pichkary - a #PhD candidate in the @CreanzaLab. Yakov studies how populations are affected by variation in cutlure. A great seminar talk last week and was even the @VandyBioGrad student of the month in June 2020! facebook.com/113053552110963…

Next was another great talk from @pichkary (trainee in the @CreanzaLab). Yakov's big Q: How are populations affected by variation in culture? #Bantu expansion, lots of human movement had sharp linguistic divides making the area ideal to identify 🧬-language relationships

@CreanzaLab and @KateTSnyder talk about how functional and evolutionary parallels between birdsong and human music to this debate - Specifically that "selection [for] culturally transmitted behaviors [can select for] underlying neural functions"! 🧠 cambridge.org/core/journals/…
