Why don't humans eat each other? A new study in #PNAS shows that #cannibalism is an evolutionary dead end. A mathematical model by M. #Misiak & P. #Tureček demonstrates that its long-term practice triggers deadly epidemics and inevitable demographic collapse. www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.... #PTNCE

What a weekend! On 23–24 May 2026, #PTNCE co-organised the 8th #Spring #School of #Evolution at the #University of #Wrocław. Over 100 students, PhD candidates, and researchers came together to learn, discuss science and build collaborations.

🌱 The 8th Spring of #Evolution begins today in #Wrocław! We’re honoured to host Daniel Sznycer’s opening talk on How to Value Computation in Humans. Two days of interdisciplinary exploration await! #PTNCE

We are pleased to share that preparations are already underway for the next #PTNCE #conference, which will take place in #Kraków in September 2027! We look forward to bringing our community together again to exchange ideas, foster collaboration, and strengthen research on human evolutionary studies.

We have an important update regarding this year’s #PTNCE conference, which had previously been announced to take place in #Białystok in September. After careful consideration, the PTNCE Board has made the difficult decision not to hold the conference in #2026.
