Ep104 Joe Henrich On Weird People The Jim Rutt Show What joe henrich wishes he could change about the social sciences. for show notes, transcripts, and links, check out north star podcast at: perell podcast joe he. Joe henrich and his colleagues are shaking the foundations of psychology and economics—and hoping to change the way social scientists think about human behavior and culture.
Joe Henrich Professor Harvard University Linkedin We begin this episode by talking about the role big gods play in cultural evolution. then we talk about the time joe spent living with small scale societies in rural peru and fiji. he talks about how he learns the language, plans the trips, and assimilates into societies so he can study them. How have we humans become the earth's dominant species through our innate intelligence and our superior mental abilities? not so, says harvard's joe henrich in the secret of our success. To anthropologist joseph henrich, intelligence is overrated. social learning, and its ability to influence biological evolution over time, is what really sets our species apart.

Join us for a public lecture titled "the social and cultural origins of invention" by joe henrich. dr. henrich is currently the ruth moore professor of biological anthropology in the department of human evolutionary biology at harvard university. his research deploys evolutionary theory to understand how human psychology gives rise to cultural evolution and how this has shaped our species. In this paper, we explore three ways in which sociocultural processes produce adaptive (or boundedly rational) algorithms. first, simple imitation or social learning heuristics allow individuals to save the costs of individual learning, experimentation, and search by exploiting the information available in the minds of other individuals. Drawing insights from lost european explorers, clever chimpanzees, hunter gatherers, neuroscientists, ancient bones, and the human genome, joseph henrich demonstrates how our collective brains have propelled our species’ genetic evolution, and shaped our biology. Henrich: if you measure people’s psychology using the tools that psychologists and economists do, you’ll find substantial variation around the world. societies that are western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic often anchor the extremes of these global distributions.
