Exciting news! Remember when Michał Misiak & Petr Tureček spoke about cannibalism at the latest PTNCE Conference in Wrocław? We're thrilled to announce that this very research has just been published in PNAS!

Huge congratulations to Michał & Petr!
We are pleased to share that preparations are already underway for the next #PTNCE #conference, which will take place in #Kraków in September 2027! We look forward to exchanging ideas, fostering collaboration, and strengthening research on human evolutionary studies.
We have an important update regarding this year’s #PTNCE conference, which had previously been announced to take place in #Białystok in September. After careful consideration, the PTNCE Board has made the difficult decision not to hold the conference in #2026.
1/n What a weekend! On May 23-24, PTNCE co-organised the 8th Spring School of Evolution at the University of Wrocław. More than 100 students, PhD candidates, and researchers came together to learn, discuss science, and build collaborations!
3/n The Spring School was organised by Dr. Piotr Sorokowski together with Dr. Marta Kowal, Dr. Michał Misiak, and Dr. Artur Ziółkowski. Their dedication created an inspiring environment for the next generation of researchers.

1/3 Is it better to idealize your partner or see them as similar to you? The analysis of data from 41,606 people across 74 countries provided evidence that for socially desirable traits (e.g., kindness or physical attractiveness) idealization wins.

1/3 Self-objectification is often framed as a "women’s issue" but our new paper shows it’s actually gender-agnostic. We found that while career success reduces it, achieving status through appearance backfires, increasing self-objectification. Status concerns may be the driver.
A very recent publication with an eye-catching title: Evolutionary Psychology Hypotheses Are Testable and Falsifiable
