Mestizajes: 5th International Conference on Science and Humanities

The aim of this new Mestizajes meeting is to address, from multiple perspectives, issues related to genius, the possibility of mapping culture, and the relevance of quantitative methods in the study of cultural interactions. The relationship between genius and madness will be discussed, as well as the evolutionary development of intelligence and its biological bases, the quantitative analysis of culture, and the role of numerical methods in the development of science and culture, among other topics. We will also address transdisciplinary questions such as: Is genius a product of nature or culture? How much of the emergence of revolutionary ideas is objective and how much is subjective? Can we predict the emergence of the next Mozart? Can science help us understand culture? Can we map cultural networks?
