Henry - the Human Evolution News RelaY.

Henry

My blog with an overly cute acronym where I cover things related to human evolution. In particular, I focus on stuff that’s related to my Ph.D. ("The Evolution of Language and Culture in the Pacific"). This includes language and culture evolution, linguistics, phylogenetics, human prehistory, culture history with a Pacific focus.

I also talk about the stuff I teach in a non-popsci-evolutionary psychology course which covers topics like non-human intelligence (e.g. primates, birds), tool use, and a bit of general evolution, psychology, anthropology and neuroscience), as well as stuff that’s just plain fun.

Along the way, I probably make fun of some people who deserve it, including creationists and the embarrassingly bad Evolutionary Psychologists (I’m looking at you, Waist-Hip Ratio and Landscape preference armchair theorists).

Last year I spent a few weeks obsessed with sudoku, and ended up writing a small program to solve the damn things for me. After I finished that, I was never tempted again.

The source code (PHP) is available under the BSD Licence. I hope it can cure someone else!
