The Cognitations podcast

Don’t miss out a brand new episode of @cognitations.bsky.social where they discuss with @manvir.bsky.social about the social lives of human populations in the past 🤩🤓😎😉

I had a wonderful time speaking to Tanay and Jay from the Cognitations podcast about why Pleistocene human societies were much more diverse—including being larger, more sedentary, and more hierarchical—than is often assumed. Check it out!!

This EP spotlights this amazing paper by Manvir & @lukeglowacki.bsky.social

NEW EP

Theories in pragmatics have long tried to explain how we use language to communicate.

Jay & @thomasbeuchot.bsky.social chat with @dansperber.bsky.social about relevance theory, which potentially offers an unifying account of both verbal and non-verbal communication.
