Foraging plays a central role in the ecology and evolution of all species. In this talk, I will present diverse work on social foraging across different human and non-human animal systems, combining field and lab work. I hope to show that social foraging provides a rich test bed to study a broad range of cognitive processes, such as memory, learning, and evidence accumulation, and that the current technological advancements allow us to do this even in the challenging conditions of the natural world.
