DESCRIPTION:Paul E. Smaldino (University of California\, Merced)\, “Social 
 Learning Strategies for Diverse and Unequal Worlds”\, IAST General Seminar
 \, Toulouse: IAST\, May 21\, 2024\, 11:30–12:30\, room Auditorium 4  (Firs
 t floor - TSE Building).\n\nResearch on cultural evolution and social lear
 ning have identified optimal strategies for learning from others under a v
 ariety of conditions prevalent in our deep cultural past\, including those
  based on individual markers of success and those based on aggregated info
 rmation from many sources (e.g.\, conformity). However\, models have tende
 d to assume that within a given environment\, the adaptive value of behavi
 oral strategies did not vary between individuals. This assumption was perh
 aps valid in small egalitarian societies\, but does not always hold within
  the diverse\, unequal societies prevalent today. I will present several n
 ew models on the evolution of social learning focusing on (1) sources of u
 ncertainty\, (2) identity diversity\, and (3) on inequality and risk. I wi
 ll show that optimal social learning strategies can vary dramatically in s
 uch worlds. This work provides explanations and new predictions related to
  polarization\, conformity\, and the persistence of poverty traps.
