SUMMARY:Celebration of Darwin Day in the Galapagos Islands
DESCRIPTION:Metropolitan Touring Ecuador celebrates Darwin Day in the Galapagos Islands on board her fleet of expedition vessels MV Santa Cruz II\, Yacht La Pinta\, and Yacht Isabela II. Throughout the weekend a series of lectures and land visits to areas Charles Darwin explored in the Galapagos will be arranged by our team of Expedition Leaders. Guests from all over the world will get a chance to have a deeper understanding in how Galapagos influenced Charles Darwin’s thinking\, but also to reflect in why Charles Darwin is one of the most positive drivers of modern thinking in humanity. Bravery redefined!

SUMMARY:R. Muehlenbernd - The Evolution of Coordination\, Cooperation\, and Communication - A Game-Theoretic Approach
DESCRIPTION:The lecture will take place in room: AB 3.11 \nLecture abstract: \nEvolutionary Game Theory (EGT) was originated as the application of games in evolutionary biology [5\, 9\, 10\, 16\, 17]. Subsequently\, EGT has been increasingly applied to the study of cultural evolution [1\, 17]\, ranging from elementary questions such as the evolution of coordinated [14] as well as cooperative [2\, 11\, 12] behavior among individuals to the study of the emergence of elaborated social normative mechanism\, such as the so-called social contract of human societies [3\, 13]. Additionally\, EGT has proven itself to be a convenient tool for the study of the emergence of an essential feature of human culture: language. Here\, particularly David Lewis’ [8] signaling game has found its application; in fundamental questions such the emergence of simple communication systems [6\, 15]\, as well as in the study of more specific phenomena in human language evolution [4\, 7]. This talk will introduce to the basic concepts of EGT\, thereby addressing the following emergent features in human cultural evolution: i) coordination\, ii) cooperation and the social contract\, iii) communication/signaling systems\, and iv) human language.\n\nReferences: \n[1] Alexander\, J.M.: Evolutionary Game Theory.
