| Research Abstract |
This project aims at understanding roles of learning in evolution of communication abilities from the viewpoint of complex and dynamically changing environments. First, we clarified how learning(or phenotypic plasticity) could contribute to the emergence and evolution of adaptive communication abilities using minimal constructive models. Then, we conducted computational experiments that specifically focused on the origin and evolution of human language and the coevolution of the temporal avoidance in singing behaviors of songbird species, etc.
