What can I say about the complex dynamics of the model studied by my biologist colleague, from the discrete information I have about it?

The biggest question I work on is to see if there's observational evidence that the Universe is spatially finite without boundaries (research field = cosmic topology); and the second biggest question is to design and implement tests to see if dark energy is really just an oversimplification that physically represents the formation of cosmic voids during the epoch of structure formation (research field = inhomogeneous cosmology).

1. When you look at another person, you have an instinctive affective/evaluative response to what they look like. Where does that come from?

2. WTF is a sex/gender difference anyway?

3. How does our evolved nature interact with culture and experience to shape the things above?

Our first proper 🧵on Mastodon today! And it's a biggie! When and where did symbolic culture (ritual, art, language, well everything) emerge in the human lineage? This question lies at the ❤️ of @RadicalAnthro 's research for 30 years.
