Ronald Planer received his PhD in Philosophy from Rutgers University, New Brunswick, in 2015. His doctoral research was in
the philosophy of science, with a special focus on the biological and cognitive sciences, particularly where those fields overlap. The character of Ron’s current research might be described as the philosophy of human nature: it is aimed at understanding—and
ideally developing testable models of—the biocultural evolution of some of the most fundamental aspects of human beings; for example, our linguistic abilities, our social-cognitive abilities, and our moral and political attitudes. Ron takes a highly interdisciplinary
approach to this research, incorporating and using ideas from anthropology, archaeology, primatology, neuroscience, linguistics, computer science, and other fields. His work has appeared in some of the very best philosophy and science journals, such as Biology
and Philosophy, Biological Theory, Current Anthropology, Mind and Language, and The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science. In 2021, Ron completed his first book (co-authored with Professor Kim Sterelny), entitled From Signal to Symbol: The Evolution
of Language (MIT Press). More broadly, Ron remains interested in core debates in the philosophy of mind, philosophy of psychology, philosophy of language, and philosophy of science.
