The target article elaborates upon an extant theoretical framework, "Imitation and Innovation: The Dual Engines of Cultural Learning." We raise three major concerns: (1) There is limited discussion of cross-cultural universality and variation; (2) overgeneralization of overimitation and omission of other social learning types; and (3) selective imitation in infants and toddlers is not discussed.

Evolutionary origins and functional diversification of Auxin Response Factors.
Nat Commun
December 2024
Laboratory of Biochemistry, Wageningen University, Stippeneng 4, 6708WE, Wageningen, the Netherlands.
The Auxin Response Factors (ARFs) family of transcription factors are the central mediators of auxin-triggered transcriptional regulation. Functionally different classes of extant ARFs operate as antagonistic auxin-dependent and -independent regulators. While part of the evolutionary trajectory to the present auxin response functions has been reconstructed, it is unclear how ARFs emerged, and how early diversification led to functionally different proteins.

Music listening is enjoyed across the lifespan and around the world. This has spurred many theories on the evolutionary purpose of music. The Music for Social Bonding hypothesis posits that the human capacity to make music evolved for the purpose of creating and preserving relationships between one another.

Risk Anal

Extreme heat events are more frequent and intense as a result of global climate change, thus posing tremendous threats to public health. However, extant literature exploring the multidimensional features of heat-health risks from a spatial perspective is limited. This study revisits extreme heat-health risk and decomposes this concept by integrating multi-sourced datasets, identifying compositional features, examining spatial patterns, and comparing classified characteristics based on local conditions.

Article Synopsis
- Barley is important in the Neolithic transition in West Asia, and new genomics data reveal it was genetically diverse and unique compared to modern types.
- The study used chloroplast genomes and private variant analysis to uncover links between ancient barley and current crops in North Africa and Ethiopia/Eritrea.
- The researchers suggest that a larger North African barley population existed in the past but suffered genetic erosion due to desertification, impacting the diversity seen in modern barley.
How hypnotic suggestions work - A systematic review of prominent theories of hypnosis.

In recent decades, hypnosis has increasingly moved into the mainstream of scientific inquiry. Hypnotic suggestions are frequently implemented in behavioral, neurocognitive, and clinical investigations and interventions. Despite abundant reports about the effectiveness of suggestions in altering behavior, perception, cognition, and agency, no consensus exists regarding the mechanisms driving these changes.
