Extended Phenotype: Recent Research

Mark Madsen has posted our poster from SAAs up on his blog. This work included the latest round of research using TransmissionLab. You can download the poster in a link posted below.

I just returned today from the annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology in Vancouver, B.C. I presented a paper (in poster form) about some recent work bridging the gap between formal models of cultural transmission (i.e., social learning and imitation between individuals) on social network graphs, and measures of cultural behavior that are observable in discrete traits (e.g., archaeological artifact classes). A corrected PDF version of the poster is available here

and will be published soon along with our entire poster session as an issue of the online Journal of Evolutionary and Historical Sciences. I'll talk more about this soon, but this week is incredibly busy and I wanted to get at least one link up for the paper before I forget.
