Loss of Earth’s old, wise, and large animals

Earth’s old animals are in decline. Despite this, emerging research is revealing the vital contributions of older individuals to cultural transmission, population dynamics, and ecosystem processes...

New study shows how niche construction affects the evolution of remembering and forgetting. Niche construction is found to reduce or stabilize environmental volatility when learned environmental resources can be monopolized. In other conditions niche destructors evolve. doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2024.16… 📷

In this article (shorturl.at/PmTT0) University of St Andrews Professor Kevin N. Lala explores what evolutionary biology tells us about the impact of culture on human behavior, and what that means for efforts to lead complex organizations more effectively. "Human minds were not just built for culture, they were built by culture," Lala writes. "For our species, cultural solutions dominate because culture is the component of our evolutionary adaptability that functions to cope with rapidly changing features of the environment."
