Just got back from #HBES2025 - what an absolute blast! Fantastic conference and even more fantastic people and the society. Loved both the big talks and the between-session chats. Only downside? Wish I could clone myself to be in several places at once! :)

I'll be the first to complain about the problems in our field. But #HBES2025 is consistently the most inspiring, invigorating, and entertaining conference I attend.

So great to see old friends, make new ones, and see students thrive.

I'd go twice a year if I could. Can't wait for Morocco.

Elizabeth Cashdan’s #HBES2025 keynote shows evidence that sex differences in spatial cognition are cross-culturally universal but flexible and ecologically contingent, underscoring the importance of experience in shaping cognition

In our #HBES2025 keynote, Dr. Elizabeth Cashdan surveys the power of an evolutionary, cross-cultural, and comparative perspective for illuminating the nature and origin of sex differences in spatial cognition

2) According to Dr. Cully’s #HBES2025 plenary, men don't exclusively use their caloric surpluses for provisioning, and are often less reliable caregivers. In addition, women's contributions to culture, provisioning, and technology are underrepresented in the archeological record.

1) Siobhan Cully gave #HBES2025 plenary #6 with recommendations on “managing patriarchy in the evolutionary behavioral sciences”. She marshals a range of evidence on the inadequacy of a "male-centered" view of evolution, i.e., that men hunting is the central driver of human life history evolution

Disgust towards sexual taboos are less invariant than disgust towards other sexual related behaviors, such as same-sex sexual behaviors. #HBES2025

@robingnelson.bsky.social "I can't do the work I want to do if I'm not in the room, so I am staying in the room"

@dconroybeam.bsky.social "People that are mutually invested in each other has made surviving [in academia] possible"

"Gender and identity in the evolutionary human sciences: Challenges to research and researchers in 2025"

Happening NOW in the event room!

In his #HBES2025 plenary, Norm Li presents a series of experiments providing evidence that exposure to some modern challenges --climbing modern status ladders, economic uncertainty, & population density--induces shifts toward slower reproductive strategies

Dr. Norm Li delivers #HBES2025 plenary #5, applying a life history framework to declines in fertility worldwide. Li reviews several known sources of fertility decline but calls attention to a potentially underappreciated factor: evolutionary mismatch.
