Sinking in: the peripheral Baldwinisation of human cognition

2020-08-29

Abstract excerpt

<p>The Baldwin effect is a hypothetical process in which a learned response to environmental change evolves a genetic basis. Modelling has shown that the Baldwin effect offers a plausible, elegant explanation for the emergence of complex behavioural traits but there is little direct empirical evidence of its occurrence. Here we highlight experimental evidence of the Baldwin effect and argue that it acts preferenti...
