10th Toulouse Economics and Biology Workshop
from June 1, 2023 to June 2, 2023
Theme of the year: Inertia in biological and cultural systems
Just as physics provides a foundation for chemistry, and chemistry for medicine, biology is the natural foundation for any science that seeks to understand the behavior of living beings, including humans. This year we will be holding the 10th Toulouse Economics and Biology Workshop.
In the past, this workshop has dealt with topics such as the evolutionary foundations of morality, cultural evolution, the intra-generational transmission of preferences, the family, and cognition and rationality, but also fertility.
