Links this week:

- Some progress in the replication wars. I’ll post about some of the specific examples over coming months.
- The evolutionary emergence of property rights (ungated working paper). HT: Ben Southwood
- Attribute substitution in charities – the evaluability bias. HT: Alex Gyani
- Peter Turchin reviews Richard Wrangham’s Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human.
