How we learnt to think like humans - Fellows' seminar by Peter Gärdenfors, Marlize Lombard and Anders Högberg

STIAS fellows Peter Gärdenfors, Marlize Lombard and Anders Högberg after their seminar on 29 November 2018 Our expanding knowledge of the hominin tree, in combination with the archaeological record of sub-Saharan Africa and the reconstruction of ancient human genomes change our understanding of human cognitive evolution.

Archaeology of a hungry mind - Fellows' seminar by Marlize Lombard, Anders Högberg and Peter Gärdenfors

We suggest that a useful way to explore the evolution of human cognition between about 300 000 and 50 000 years ago is to think of it in terms of a co-evolutionary feedback loop between aspects of biology, technology, society and ecology.
