Cognitive Cultural Evolution
I propose studying parallels and connection between cultural change and organic evolution using computational and mathematical models. My proposal considers cognitive accounts of concept formation by applying notions of neuroscience and of evolutionary biology to language games. These can be coupled to population dynamics, including spatial mobility and also generational change to study genetic-cultural coevolution.
