Which Darwin for Darwinism? Charles Darwin, Neo-Darwinism and the Question of Cooperation, by Denis Noble What did Darwin really mean — and how did neo-Darwinism narrow his legacy?

🧬 Which “Darwin” do we mean — the one focused on competition, or the one open to cooperation? Later interpretations narrowed his ideas, but Darwin himself explored relationships and social selection.

Are we still human if robots help raise our babies? AI is transforming the way we work — could it also reshape what makes us human? In this quick and insightful talk, evolutionary anthropologist Sarah Blaffer Hrdy explores how the human brain was shaped by millions of years of shared childcare and mutually supportive communities, asking a provocative question: If robots help raise the next generation, will we lose the empathy that defines us?

What makes us human — especially in an age of #AI? In this powerful talk, Sarah Blaffer Hrdy reminds us that humans didn’t evolve to raise children alone.

The hard problem: Tom Stoppard on the limits of what science can explain Can evolution explain acts of kindness, and morality? We arranged a debate between a sceptical Tom Stoppard and the evolutionary biologist David Sloan Wilson. Stuart Jeffries acted as referee

"The Hard Problem" of User and System

Tom Stoppard's passing invites reflection on his 2015 exchange with evolutionist David Sloan Wilson. As Stoppard developed his play "The Hard Problem," Wilson's (and Elliott Sober's) work on altruism shaped his thinking.

🌍 Cultural evolution shows our systems are shaped by variation, selection, and replication — meaning they can change. So what kind of economy are we selecting for today?

The Survival of the Kindest: Evolution’s New Groove Evolution is being rethought as a web shaped by genes, environments, culture and co-operation.

Is evolution really just “nature red in tooth and claw” — or is life shaped by cooperation as much as competition? Modern science tells us that groups that work together prevail.

On the Concept of Paradigms and a New Paradigm for Evolving Cooperative Systems, by David Sloan Wilson Our 21st-century crises are rooted in outdated, individualistic paradigms. A new complexity and evolution-based paradigm can better guide science, policy, and collective action.

🌱Are humans naturally selfish? Or did evolution wire us for cooperation? Multilevel selection theory suggests both are true.
