Two Fully-Funded PhD positions at @AucklandUni ! Come help us understand the past and future of global cultural and linguistic diversity. findaphd.com/phds/project/u…
Our new paper showing tool use isn't as rare as we thought among parrots - cell.com/iscience/fullt…
Check out our new paper @natcomms on the non-independence of nations in cross-national analyses...
Lots of hot takes on our latest Indo-European paper. I’ll try respond to some of the general complaints about methods, without singling people out. I’ll focus on methods as that’s my expertise, rather than IE prehistory. 1/n
We have a new paper (round 3!) on the origins of Indo-European out this week in Science. Kudos to the amazing work by Paul Heggarty, Cormac Anderson and team producing the new IE database that underpins this analysis - doi.org/10.1126/scienc…

NEW PAPER! Climate change belief and pro-environmental behaviour more likely among those who cooperate with strangers in lab-based social dilemmas that make no mention of climate change or any other real world social dilemma - theconversation.com/climate-change…
Out this week in Science Advances, our long-awaited Grambank paper, documenting global variation in grammar across 2400 languages. 10 years' work by an amazing team (too many to mention in one tweet). We have to protect this linguistic diversity - science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Partner choice does not predict prosociality across countries @scottclaessens and @thkyritsis cambridge.org/core/journals/…
It scored poorly on fuel economy and price but destroyed the competition when it came to its ability to smoothly and efficiently run over children
New paper in Nature Human Behaviour...How do religious and political authority co-evolve and which comes first? We take a look across Austronesian-speaking communities of the Pacific - nature.com/articles/s4156… @olcsheehan @Joseph__Watts RDGray @scottclaessens @prof_joe_ @err_ring
University of Auckland is looking for a Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Organisational Psychology. jobs.smartrecruiters.com/TheUniversityO… via @SmartRecruiters
Out NOW in @Journal_EHS, we find evidence to suggest that democratic outcomes diffuse more readily between linguistic and religious relatives. If we want to spread democracy, we need to consider culture - cambridge.org/core/journals/…
