DOI: 10.1002/bies.201800212
Abstract: Humans spend large portions of their time and energy talking to one another, yet it remains unclear whether this activity is primarily selfish or altruistic. Here, it is shown how parent‐of‐origin specific gene expression—or “genomic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11245-017-9474-8
Abstract: Universal Darwinism provides a methodology to study the evolution of anatomical form and sociocultural behavior that centers on defining the units and levels of selection, and it identifies the conditions whereby natural selection operates. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cels.2021.05.017
Abstract: Language models have recently emerged as a powerful machine-learning approach for distilling information from massive protein sequence databases. From readily available sequence data alone, these models discover evolutionary, structural, and functional organization across protein space.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.langsci.2017.03.003
Abstract: Abstract Reconstructions of the languages spoken by first modern humans based on grammaticalization theory rely on the assumption that the involved cognitive capacities and the motivations for grammaticalizing a language were the same in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/access.2021.3061756
Abstract: Computational models can be considered human-designed computing models inspired by the processes observed in the natural world, which allow simulating and understanding these processes. Computational modelling is notably applied to simulate the behaviour and long-term… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/cogs.13289
Abstract: Studies of language evolution in the lab have used the iterated learning paradigm to show how linguistic structure emerges through cultural transmission-repeated cycles of learning and use across generations of speakers . However, agent-based simulations… read more here.

DOI: 10.1515/glot-2020-2003
Abstract: Abstract The relationship between “language change” and “language evolution” has recently become subject to some debate regarding the scope of both concepts. It has been claimed that while the latter used to refer to the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2021.684022
Abstract: Language evolution remains a hotly debated, yet somewhat controversial topic, due to our limited ability to experimentally investigate it and observe it in nature. While some researchers contend that modern-like language emerged in a single… read more here.
