Had such a fantastic time at ISHPSSB 2025 in Porto!
Great talks and inspiring conversations about philosophy of biology (and cultural coevolution) with amazing people.

Our workshop “Perspectives on Human Variation: Philosophy Meets Evolutionary Anthropology” has begun! @andrameneganzin.bsky.social opened by outlining the core problem space & the interdisciplinary links we aim to build to better understand human variation, past & present. #HPS #evobio #paleosky

Philosopher Andra Meneganzin speaks at the opening of the workshop “Perspectives on Human Variation: Philosophy Meets Evolutionary Anthropology” at KU Leuven. She stands in a historic room (Raadzaal) with ornate wallpaper, large oil portraits, and a chandelier, addressing a seated group of interdisciplinary participants around a long table. A presentation slide is displayed on a screen behind her.
