The Comparative Cognitive Anthropology research group is a collaboration between the Max Planck Institutes for Psycholinguistics and Evolutionary Anthropology and aims to explore how patterns of human cultural variation are related to variable cognitive function and to determine the underlying set of psychological mechanisms that allow and stabilize humans' exceptional cross-cultural variability. To achieve these aims we combine cross-species, cross-cultural, and developmental experimentation. For more information, please visit our webpage
