What sort of creatures are we? Humans are like other apes in many ways, but whatever differences do exist, they combine to generate the social and cultural systems that shapes our lives: Languages, symbols, technologies, institutions, democracies and more. How and why does this happen? Why are we like this? These are the big questions that shape my thinking and my writing.
I am Research Affiliate at the Department of Cognitive Science, Central European University. Previously I held research posts in departments of Philosophy, Psychology, Anthropology and Linguistics.
