#1142 Gül Salali: Social Dynamics, Culture, Mental Health and Physical Health in Hunter-Gatherers

Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of the Decenter. I'm your host, as always, Ricardo Lopes, and today I'm joined by Dr. Gul Salali. She is assistant professor in evolutionary anthropology at University College London. Her research focuses on human behavior and health using evolutionary approaches.

And today we're going to cover topics like transitions from small-scale groups to larger scale ones, cumulative culture. the Mubenjile Bayaka Undergatherers and some other related topics. So Dr. Salali, welcome to the show. It's a huge pleasure to have you one.

Thanks, Ricardo, and thank you so much for inviting me. I'm very excited to be part of your great podcasts. Great. So I know that uh just to start off with, I know that you are interested in sociocultural evolution. And I would like to start with this question then.
