The course will present the main concepts involved in the cognitive approach to the social sciences: ultimate and proximate explanations, adaptive plasticity, cultural transmission and cultural evolution. We will use these distinctions to better understand social phenomena such as religion, art or cross-cultural differences.

2.  The recycling of the visual system and the evolution of writing systems

3. Cultural selection and cultural evolution

4. Cognition, emphasis, and the viewer's experience of fine art

6. The empathic narrative

7. Wild religions

8. Cultural transmission and epistemic deference

9. Animal cultures

10. Using cognitive science in history: The case of emotions in theatre plays

11. Using cognitive science in history: The case of trustworthiness in portraits

12. Using phylogenetic methods in cultural evolution
