The proposed research has three main aims (i) to understand the sources, causes and consequences of individual behavioural plasticity for survival and reproductive success among non-human primates, and their ability to withstand rapid climate change (ii) to break new ground in our understanding of the flexibility of human reproductive decision-making in cross-cultural perspective and (iii) construct a new way to think about the evolution of mind, which encompasses recent advances in cognitive science, anthropology and comparative psychology. Together, this research will allow us to recognize and rise to the challenges of living in the Anthropocene.

这项研究有三个主要目的：(1)了解非人类灵长类动物个体行为可塑性的来源、原因和后果，以及它们对快速气候变化的承受能力；(2)在跨文化视角下对人类生殖决策灵活性的理解上开辟新的领域；(3)构建一种思考思维进化的新方法。它涵盖了认知科学、人类学和比较心理学的最新进展。总之，这项研究将使我们认识到并迎接生活在人类世的挑战。
