Overview

Theo Murphy meeting organised by Professor Elli Leadbeater and Professor Alex Thornton.

What are the evolutionary processes that have produced extraordinary cognitive diversity across the animal kingdom? New approaches, informed by evolutionary biology, neuroscience and psychology, are allowing us to elucidate how different aspects of cognition enhance survival and reproduction for species that live very different lives. This meeting will explore how natural selection customizes animal minds to maximise evolutionary success.

The schedule of talks and speaker biographies will be available soon. Speaker abstracts will be available closer to the meeting date.
