Editor's Selections: Living Dangerously, Cognition, Heritability, and Irrational Behaviors

Tweet

This week in the social sciences:

• Tim De Chant explains why humans tend to settle in dangerous places.
• The host of Serious Monkey Business considers the evolutionary benefits of cognition in group settings.
• Jeremy Yoder discusses the difference between heritability and heritable.
• Jason Collins maintains that humans aren't irrational - in most cases, anyway. Rather, they're subject to time inconsistencies.

I'll be back next Thursday with more selections from the social sciences!
