The LEVYNA team was present at the annual conference of the Polish Society for Human and Evolution Studies (this year it was organized by the Human Ethology research group based at Charles University and, therefore, held in Prague). The conference also included a competition for the best student poster.
It was in this competition that Jan succeeded in winning the second place with a poster devoted to his research on the cultural transmission of moral systems through narrative art. You can see the poster here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1wiDnSghXEawrjdaIdNclyr_9hRtASTBL

Jana Nenadalová, Piotr Szymanek (Jagiellonian University), and Neil Van Leeuwen (Georgia State University) received a grant from the Open Science of Religion initiative (supported by the John Templeton Foundation) for a virtual reality study.
In his thesis, titled Costly signaling theory of pilgrimage: The case study of pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, he studied whether pilgrimages may function as costly signals of commitment to group norms.
