'Patterns of genetic diversity on the X and Y chromosomes suggested that European-farmer ancestry seemed to arrive mostly through females. “We really do think that the bits and pieces of the farming lifestyle that were incorporated by these hunter-gathering groups came in through...women".'

Happy #WplusEBSWednesday! Reposting this 🙌 Submit your abstracts for the International Society for Evolution, Medicine, and Public Health by March 1st! #conferences #WplusEBS #evolution

Was excited to talk to @davidpinsof.bsky.social and @dpietra.bsky.social on their stellar podcast. We covered pandemic lockdowns, how comfortable you'd be touching your friend's sweaty socks, why politicians are disgusting, and whether some core concepts in evolutionary psychology even make sense.

Thank you so much for an intense and interesting conference on disgust in lovely Toulouse!

Jorge Tobajas (University of Córdoba) shows how disgust can aid wildlife conservation. Through conditioned food aversion, animals learn to avoid risky or threatened resources, reducing conflict and protecting biodiversity—without lethal methods. #Conservation #WildlifeManagement #Sustainability

WHAT AN AMAZING GROUP OF DISGUSTED PEOPLE! 😄 Thank you all for attending and for the fantastic talks and discussions throughout the conference! #DisgustAcrossBorders #ConferenceVibes #ScienceCommunity @iast.fr

Next up, Sylvie Borau (Toulouse Business School) on the expanding circle of moral disgust: from animal suffering to robot mistreatment. Disgust drives moral condemnation and engagement, but reasoning extends concern even to artificial beings. #MoralPsychology #Disgust #AnimalWelfare #AIethics

Let’s continue with the application session! Jared Piazza (Lancaster University) shows that while pathogen-related disgust can spark meat aversion, moral motivations often sustain it, leading to stronger commitments and fewer returns to meat eating. #disgust #ethics #meat_aversion

Don’t fade now — this afternoon @iast.fr brings a standout final keynote: Cindy Kam (Vanderbilt) shows how disgust can also power politics. Disgust isn’t conservative or liberal, but opportunistic, pushing for protection across issues and sometimes even bridging partisan divides.

🔥 7 Flash Talks on Disgust & Pathogen Avoidance: #disgust #pathogenavoidance #behavioralimmune #moralpsych #learning #meat

1/Emily Bagley (Cambridge): Disgust learning is sticky! People struggle to update avoidance behavior for disgusting outcomes vs. points-based rewards. Fear vs. disgust? No difference. 2/Çağla Çınar (Amsterdam): Vegetarians’ disgust toward meat predicts negativity toward meat eaters

7/Michal Stefanczyk (U. College of Professional Education): Six studies test evolutionary & sociocultural explanations for sex differences in disgust sensitivity — results show a complex, nuanced picture.

5/Jan Havlíček (Charles Univ.): Preschoolers’ disgust sensitivity rises from age 4 → 5, showing early cognitive development of contamination awareness. 6/Daqing Liu (York St John): Disgust responds more to bad moral character than anger

Lei Fan (Aarhus Univ.) shows across Western and East Asian samples a split in moral punishment: 😡 Anger → direct + indirect aggression 🤢 Disgust → indirect punishment Patterns replicate in Japan — stable functions despite cultural differences. #disgust #emotion #crosscultural

Wow — truly disgusting videos today! 🤢 Tom Kupfer (Nottingham Trent) shows, across 67 countries, a clear split in disgust: 🦠 Pathogen cues → oral–gastric 🪳 Ectoparasite cues → skin–surface Despite varied emotion terms, same mechanisms worldwide. #disgust #emotion #crosscultural

@joshtybur.bsky.social (VU Amsterdam) presents new work testing the universality of disgust across 36 societies and 30k+ participants. Pathogen, sexual & moral disgust show striking cross-cultural consistency! Fascinating dataset & big implications! @iast.fr #disgust #crossculturalresearch

Surely a highlight of Paul Rozin's online keynote at the Disgust Without Borders conference, after an excellent review and comment on the research, was his extended poetic riff on Hamlet's soliloquy - applied to food! @disgust-nerds.bsky.social @iast.fr
