Evolution advances, not by a priori design, but by the selection of what works best out of whatever choices offer. We are the products of editing, rather than of authorship.

Look in the mirror, and don't be tempted to equate transient domination with either intrinsic superiority or prospects for extended survival.

Our new paper on modelling the #spatiotemporal dynamics of a beneficial genetic variant is out @eLife.
Muktupavela et al: https://elifesciences.org/articles/73767
Plus a digest highlight here: https://elifesciences.org/digests/73767/evolving-through-time-and-space
We extend a #diffusion method for inferring the spread of a strongly selected allele, originally developed by Novembre et al. (https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.0030339). We now incorporate #ancientDNA and allow for #advection dynamics.

I work in the stable of #sustainabilitysciences. The purpose of my #humanevolution research is to help solve social and ecological crises.
Inspired by materialist #ecofeminist lenses. Currently exploring #humanselfdomestication as a social evolutionary process that moderated #maleviolence and dominance competition, allowing increased social #cooperation and complexity.

Aiello and Dunbar established a mathematical law from the behavioural data of contemporary primates and applied it to hominins. They came to the conclusion that Australopithecus spent 20 percent of its time on social grooming; this time then increased to 45 percent for Homo neantherthalensis and Homo sapiens. However, we no longer spend half of our time delousing each other in order to maintain social stability [...]". (from Silvana Condemi and François Savatier, A Pocket History of Human Evolution)

Will we be fleshy lumps of brain, and maybe eyes, with a tentacle for scrolling? Do we even need mouths? Mouths are messy? What if they can arrange for us to be fed intravenously? We can use filters to digitally add a mouth when we using #Fakebook and #Groom.
