DESCRIPTION:The Cutting Edge lectures are organized to foster\ncommunicatio
 n between scientists in different disciplines as well\nas between scientis
 ts and the public.\nBy Andre Costopoulos (Dept of Anthropology\,\n91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ)
 \nBuilding on recent computer simulation results from my lab\, I\nwill arg
 ue that while we humans perceive ourselves as forward\nlooking decision ma
 kers\, and often see our sophisticated brain as a\nrational choice engine\
 , we are in fact probably selected to have a\nlimited ability to make good
  decisions. I will argue that our brain\nis in fact a diversity production
  machine and that cultural\nevolution depends on the ability of our cultur
 al systems to build\nand maintain diversity\, and on our ability to access
  and replicate\nother people's traits when circumstances demand it. Under 
 this\n'diversity-tolerance' model of cultural evolution humans are smart\n
 enough to come up with a range of potential solutions to the\nproblems we 
 face\, but not very good at determining which solution\nis the best.\n
