Dear List,

Some aspects of the recent discussions may be related to a recent work 
that Jorge Navarro and me have published. The title is:

*Human cognitive limitations and emotions: The emergence of social 
complexity*

During some days it will be possible to freely download it at:

I remember in late 1980s reading a book edited by F.E. Yates (1987), 
where he was saying "our science smells human... and there is no way to 
take that odor away " (reminded just by heart, probably the second part 
of the sentence is not exact).  As we state in the abstract of our 
paper: "Ultimately, this social adaptation process made possible the 
emergence of human ‘ultrasociality’ –the crux of Anthropogenesis-- and 
the most conspicuous behavioral traits still observable in contemporary 
societies, the effects of which also reverberate in the practice of 
science itself." We have listed several dozen individual and collective 
limitations that help make sense of what we see in science (particularly 
in the multidisciplinary). A fascinating question is whether generative 
AI will change the game--and clean the odor???

Best greetings,

--Pedro
