I study how languages and cultures evolve. Primarily with phylogenies and other assorted computational methods. Based at @Biology_UoA. Never met a language phylogeny or a cultural phylogeny I didn't like. #phylolinguistics

I think this is because many citations are from people skimming through citation lists (e.g. gscholar) and trying to find one that sounds "right" to put in a "citation needed" slot. Joke titles are not transparent enough
