The Cultural Evolution of Human Goals
Abstract Humans pursue remarkably diverse goals that vary over time and across cultures. These goals are both drivers and products of cultural evolutionary dynamics, yet most theories of cultural evolution have focused on the influence of culture on how individuals reach their goals, rather than on which goals they pursue.

Sentinel-2A and 2B absolute calibration monitoring
As part of the Copernicus program, Sentinel-2 is the optical imaging mission designed for the operational monitoring of land and coastal areas. It offers a unique combination of global coverage with a wide field of view, a high revisit capability (5 days

Abstract A recent debate has emerged between Caspar et al. (2024) and Herculano‐Houzel (2023) on inferring extinct dinosaur cognition by estimating brain neuron counts. While thought‐provoking, the discussion largely overlooks the function of cognition, as well as partly neglects the difficulties involved in estimating neuron numbers, which according ...

Sources of uncertainty in vicarious calibration: understanding calibration target reflectance
A field experiment investigated the hypothesis that the nadir reflectance of calibration surface substrates (asphalt and concrete) remains stable over a range of time-scales.

The impact of family interview on the relationship between medical students and their silent mentor
Abstract The gross anatomy laboratory course often triggers significant negative emotions in medical students during dissection. While various pedagogical interventions aim to alleviate psychological burden, the fundamental question of how students' perceptions of donors evolve throughout the course remains underexplored.

Measuring the Burden of Choice: Development and Validation of a Choice Overload Scale
ABSTRACT Excessive choice imposes substantial cognitive demands on consumers, impairs decision‐making, and generates negative consumer responses—a phenomenon widely known as the choice overload effect. Despite its conceptual prominence in consumer research and its enduring relevance in today's consumer markets, existing approaches to measuring choice ...
