Epigenetically facilitated mutational assimilation: epigenetics as a hub within the inclusive evolutionary synthesis (2018, background): “, 2013; Kronholm & Collins, 2015), and it has long been known that adaptive processes occurring at the developmental timescale can be effective in catalysing evolution (Hinton & Nowlan, 1987; West-Eberhard, 2003; Laland et al., 2010).”
Cultural traditions and the evolution of reproductive isolation: ecological speciation in killer whales? (2012, background): “For example, the cultural practice of cattle farming in some human populations drove the evolution of lactose tolerance in adults (Simoons, 1978; Richerson & Boyd, 2005; Laland et al., 2010), and humans from agricultural populations living on high-starch diets *Corresponding author.”
Ecology in an anthropogenic biosphere (2015, background): “…continues to respond to ecological pressures including diseases and environmental conditions, some of which have resulted from human sociality, such as high population densities, trading networks, and engineered environments (Laland et al. 2010, Richerson et al. 2010, Rendell et al. 2011).”
More on how and why: cause and effect in biology revisited (2013, background): “In hominins, cultural practices have apparently generated selection for alleles that aid the digestion of starch, carbohydrates, proteins, and other novel features of our post-agricultural diets (Laland et al. 2010; Richerson et al. 2010).”
Cultural Evolution: A Review of Theory, Findings and Controversies (2015, background): “Finally, they explored the interaction between genetic and cultural evolution, examining the conditions under which social learning might genetically evolve, which led to analyses of specific cases of gene-culture coevolution (Feldman and Laland 1996; Laland et al. 2010).”
Modeling Human Ecodynamics and Biocultural Interactions in the Late Pleistocene of Western Eurasia (2011, background): “Culture and its transmission constitute an inheritance system that functions independently from biological evolution; these two inheritance systems can operate in parallel, coevolve, or even act in opposition to one another (Barton 2008; Laland et al. 2010; Richerson and Boyd 2005; Richerson et al. ”
The Broad Spectrum Revolution at 40: Resource diversity, intensification, and an alternative to optimal foraging explanations (2012, background): “…along with natural selection, be recognized as a major driver of evolution (Odling-Smee et al., 2003, p. 18) – a driver that has resulted in demonstrable, directional genetic change in organisms practicing the behavior, including humans (O’Brien and Laland, in press; Laland et al., 2000, 2010).”
Ecological Inheritance and Cultural Inheritance: What Are They and How Do They Differ? (2011, background): “…inadvertently promoted insect-propagated diseases, such as malaria, in many human populations, generating selection for resistant alleles (Durham 1991; Laland et al. 2010; O’Brien and Laland 2012) and triggering further human niche construction, such as the widespread use of chemical insecticides.”
Niche Construction Theory and Archaeology (2010, background): “The sickle-cell (HbS) allele is equally representative of (a) many human alleles expressed in immunity; (b) resistance to disease and pathogen response thought to have been favored by human agriculture, farming, domestication of animals, and aggregation; and (c) the subsequent exposure to new pathog”
Participatory Cultural Mapping Based on Collective Behavior Data in Location-Based Social Networks (2016, background): “In the current literature, cultural differences have been widely studied from various domains such as psychology [Cole and Bruner 1971], genetics [Laland et al. 2010], behavior [Triandis 1989], education [Hofstede 1986], economy [Du Gay and Pryke 2002], and business management [Moran et al.”
