EVOLUTION & SOCIAL COGNITION

 

Olivier Morin is a CNRS researcher at the Institut Jean Nicod (PSL University, Paris). His research focuses on cultural transmission and its cognitive prerequisites. His book, How Traditions Live and Die (2016), seeks to explain the long-term survival of culturally evolved practices. His more recent work focuses on the cultural evolution of graphic communication – the human ability to transmit information by means of images. His publications span anthropology, cognitive science, and behavioral ecology.
