How the social brain hypothesis undermines hereditarianism
Hereditarianism is a pseudoscientific view relying on the assumption that varying environmental forces selected for intelligence differentially on ancestral populations. As human groups migrated to different areas worldwide, hereditarians argue, novel ecological pressures necessitated different degrees of innovation. Hereditarians use a mixture of genome-wide association studies, intelligence quotient metrics, and arguments stemming from evolutio…
Evidence that cultural groups differ in their abilities to detect fake accents
We recently reported that cultural group membership may be a predictor of the likelihood that an individual will detect a faked accent in a recording. Here, we present follow-up data to our original study using a larger data set comprised of responses from the across the world. Our findings are in line with our previous work and suggest that native listeners perform better at this task than do non-native listeners overall, although with some betw…
Evidence that cultural groups differ in their abilities to detect fake accents
Previous research in the evolutionary and psychological sciences has suggested that markers or tags of ethnic or group membership may help to solve cooperation and coordination problems. Cheating remains, however, a problem for these views, insofar as it is possible to fake the tag. While evolutionary psychologists have suggested that humans evolved the propensity to overcome this free rider problem, it is unclear how this module might manifest a…
Sharing values as a foundation for collective hope
A widespread “tale of terror” amongst those seeking social change is that people in modern Western societies are caught in a neo-liberal paradigm and have come to care most about materialism, individual success and status. Our research attempted to challenge this tale. Study 1 involved New Zealand participants (N = 1085) from largely, but not exclusively, left-leaning groups. We used an open-ended process to identify their “infinite” values (that…
