The Cog in the Ratchet: Illuminating the Cognitive Mechanisms Generating Human Cumulative Culture (RATCHETCOG)

Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2020,

In human populations, skills and knowledge accumulate over generations, giving rise to behaviours and technologies far more complex than any single individual could achieve alone. This ratchet-like property of human culture appears absent in nonhuman species, as socially transmitted behaviours in animal populations are generally no more complex than those that can be acquired by trial and error. S...
