We study social learning, cultural evolution and niche construction, integrating rigorous experimental work on primates, birds and fish with theoretical approaches.
Current projects include identifying evolved social learning strategies, developing methods to predict the diffusion and inheritance of behaviour, and exploring the evolution of intelligence.
Our findings are of significance to a broad range of researchers, including animal behaviourists, evolutionary biologists, neuroscientists and economists, and have implications for work on artificial intelligence, robotics and conservation.
