The joint @ces2026.bsky.social / #HBES2026 is a wrap. Local organizers @zhgarfield.com, @edseabright.bsky.social, @sarahalami.bsky.social, & @matcharbonneau.bsky.social & their amazing support team pulled off TWO back-to-back conferences. The vibe, food, high-tech venue & talks were fantastic!

Final day of #HBES2026! 🌍 Parallel sessions kick off at 9:00, followed by Martin Daly’s lunch panel on the history of HBES, the Postdoctoral Investigator Award finalists, and our closing keynote at 15:05: Simon Baron-Cohen on “The Pattern Seekers: How Autism Drives Human Invention.”

Proud of this paper; five years in the making. Correcting consumer beliefs about carbon impact of meat products (controlling for salience and social norms) does *not* lead to any change in consumption behavior in our setting. Any effects of carbon labels are likely to work through salience/norms.

📢 New Paper 🚨 Hadza food-sharing is egalitarian, yet offers in giving games have never matched the equitable redistribution seen in real life. In this study, we allowed people to give *or* take. Lifelike equitable distributions only appeared when people took from peers in surplus. bit.ly/4kvLOwA

The “I” in egalitarianism: Hadza hunter-gatherers averse to inequality primarily when personally unfavorable

Abstract. Many economists contend that humans have strong, universal, other-regarding equality preferences with deep evolutionary roots. Indeed, many hunte
