This is a very cool study I have written about for @newscientist.com Adult chimpanzees have been observed passing tools to their younger relatives, helping them learn the skills needed for fishing for ants or algae 🧪 www.newscientist.com/article/2589...

The chimps are not failing to understand the gesture. They were not paying attention to the person producing it. Communication rarely comes as an isolated signal. Gesture, gaze, voice and context work together. If we pull them apart, we may remove the very thing that made the signal communicative.

When the experimenter simply pointed toward the hidden food, chimpanzees were at chance. When he called their name, looked at them and produced food grunts—but did not point—they were also at chance. But when we engaged their attention and then pointed, they chose correctly 73% of the time.

New paper with Liz Spelke, @rebeccasaxe.bsky.social, and @ashleyjthomas.bsky.social! We find that when 4- to 6-month-old infants observe two individuals share saliva, they infer that those individuals have a close relationship. Free access link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1niQg_Oow0...

In 2023, @nature.com published 'Papers and patents are becoming less disruptive over time', receiving world-wide media attention. Our Matters Arising, published after a 32 month delay (more on that soon), shows that the reported decline can largely be attributed to dataset artefacts. 🧵

It took a while but our paper on general relativity and causation in BJPS is officially out! This really started when working on my undergrad dissertation back in Los Andes under the supervision of Andrés Páez (in fact, that dissertation was my entrance into philosophy of science and physics).

Our paper, with @murgue.bsky.social and James Read, on causation and general relativity is finally out.
