Lovely days at #SPSP2026 in Cambridge! Great talks, great conversations, music, and lots of inspiring people. Really happy to have shared my work on the primate model in archaeology 🦧 Thanks everyone!
Thrilled to be joining @mpi-eva-leipzig.bsky.social. More soon from our chimpanzee and bonobo relatives on the making of cooperation and culture
MPI-EVA Leipzig@mpi-eva-leipzig.bsky.social · 2mo agoWe are delighted to welcome a new Max Planck Research Group to @mpi-eva-leipzig.bsky.social! 🥳 Led by @lirsamuni.bsky.social, this group will study wild #apes to address fundamental questions about the ecological & social bases of #cooperation & #culture. @maxplanck.de www.eva.mpg.de/press/news/a...

CES Conference 2026 at UM6P Rabat 📍 The Cultural Evolution Society (CES) Conference 2026 successfully kicked off today at the UM6P Rabat campus, hosted by the Africa Institute for Research in Economics and Social Sciences (AIRESS) in collaboration with the School of Collective Intelligence (SCI).
🎯La missione di #PIPoLS? 🚀Intendiamo promuovere e rafforzare approcci alla #filosofia delle scienze della vita radicati nelle pratiche e nelle istituzioni scientifiche, alimentati dal dialogo #interdisciplinare e in grado di integrare teoria, ricerca empirica e riflessione epistemologica ed #etica.
Have not read this paper on out-group cooperation in bonobos and dolphins, so this is premature, but noting the female orientation in societal structure anyway: royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article...
What can we learn from bonobos and bottlenose dolphins about the evolution of between-group cooperation?
Abstract. Cooperation between unrelated individuals across social groups is a hallmark of human societies, underpinning our species’ unique capacity for cu

Not a secret anymore! I am extremely proud and happy to present you the EVApeCognition Dataset, out now in Scientific Data. Over the last 5 years we have assembled and standardized data from 150 studies on great ape cognition from the WKPRC in the Leipzig Zoo! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Adeline Le Cabec from our lab participated in this new study on Neanderthal growth! Amud 7, the most complete Neanderthal infant skeleton, reveals unusually rapid early-life growth. This discovery suggests Neanderthals may have followed a unique, fast developmental pattern.🧪🏺 doi.org/10.1016/j.cu...

This is probably the hardest I’ve seen a wild primate throw a stone against another stone! Lots of lovely sharp pieces if the Moyen Bafing chimps ever want to take up that cutting/slicing lifestyle… 🏺🪨
The Moyen Bafing Chimp Project@mbchimp.bsky.social · 5mo agoHeading into the weekend with that TFIF mbchimp style!! #soundon #TGIF #chimpanzee #moyenbafing 🧪
It's been a while that we could watch chimps fishing for algae. They do it with longer sticks when gathering the algae from the bottom of the water source. The other technique we've recently seen is scooping algae from the surface.

The most unforgettable part, though? Absolutely meeting Jasongo. Some pics from Wolfgang Köhler Primate Research Center (Pongoland), Leipzig Zoo. Pt.1 cc @chiarapertile.bsky.social
Never in my wildest dreams, especially coming from philosophy, did I think I'd end up as a visitor at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig. It's been an incredible honor. So grateful to Prof. Russell Gray, the Crow Cognition Group, and the DLCE for hosting me!
