Excited to share that our @BBSJournal target article — "Children as agents of cultural adaptation" — is online & open for commentary! In it, @sheinalew & I argue that children's peer cultures play an important & understudied role in cultural adaptation. cambridge.org/core/journals/…
Congratulations to FCS Director Sheina Lew-Levy for being awarded a 2024 Philip Leverhulme Prize!
Excited to share that I've been awarded an @ERC_Research Starting Grant! Our team will be investigating how children's independent peer cultures evolve, and what they contribute to community adaptation.
Our new paper on the composition of hunter-gatherer caregivers are out! Children and unrelated people together contribute the most! cambridge.org/core/journals/…

New book cover: one of my favorite photos from Arthur Wolf’s fieldnotes archive. It expresses central themes of my book: mutual gaze between kids and the anthropologist/photographer; children playing by themselves, without adult supervision, and in a somewhat forbidden place.

A little snippet of children's lives in the ethnographic record: here's Malinowski describing "the children's republic" in Melanesia — "If the children make up their minds to do a certain thing... the grown-ups & even the chief himself... will not be able to stop them".

What school for the Bayaka? A discussion with two animators of the...
A nearly 6,000 year old piece of chewing gum, found in Scandinavia, perfectly preserved the DNA of its chewer. She was a young, hunter-gatherer girl, with dark skin, brown hair & blue eyes, who had recently eaten a meal of hazelnuts & duck. Archaeology is amazing.

🧵 At @ISHGR5, we're discussing unequal and extractive research practices within hunter-gatherer studies. As a step (of many) towards correcting course, the journal Hunter-Gatherer Research is launching the Community Companion Initiative. Sign up here: forms.gle/1T2fDPjhYFYsfz…
Friends, I'm really thrilled that we have published this review paper on peer learning, with implications for cultural evolution. One of our coolest findings is that peer learning is pervasive, even in societies with strong norms for vertical transmission srcd.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
📢📢We're very pleased to announce our 2023 New Investigator Award goes to the fantastic @sheinalew! Watch out for her at @ehbea2023 and in the meantime check out her impressive work on social learning among forager children here: sites.google.com/view/sheinalew… 👏👏👏
I'm truly thrilled that our (@Marc_M_Andersen @ARCHAEOfelix, others) work is finally ready to share! Over the past few years, we've been building this gorgeous database of kids play objects from around the world! play-object-play.au.dk/?page=1
