The evolution of symbolic artefacts: How function shapes form
Children as playful artists: Integrating developmental psychology to identify children’s art in the Upper Palaeolithic
Children's agential behaviours in the archaeological record have often been overlooked. Despite efforts to centre children in the past through 'an archaeology of childhood', there remains a fundamental challenge of rigorously distinguishing children's behaviours from those of adults. In Upper Palaeolithic art, this has been addressed through the analysis of anatomical measurements of traces produced by hands and figures, demonstrating that childr…
The evolution of symbolic artefacts: How function shapes form
Despite the indisputable significance of human symbolic cognition and behavior, we still lack a detailed understanding of the mechanisms by which such capacities evolved during the Paleolithic. An important source of evidence is constituted by archaeological findings of intentional markings left on rock and bone surfaces, but these are often opaque with respect to their original meaning and function. Here we present experimental work that systema…
Beyond the image: Interdisciplinary and contextual approaches to understanding symbolic cognition in Paleolithic parietal art
Symbolic cognition-the ability to produce and use symbols, including (but not limited to) linguistic symbols-has often been considered a hallmark of human achievement. Given its importance, symbolic cognition has been a major topic of interest in many academic disciplines including anthropology, archeology, and the cognitive sciences.1-6 Paleolithic rock art holds vast potential for understanding the early roots of symbolically mediated behavior.…
Citizen science to engage educators in the production of structured practice-based evidence at a large-scale
Background: Every day, millions of educators try out new practices to improve education. If a small proportion of them made the observed effects of their practices publicly available in a database of practice-based evidence, this could become a promising source of information for other educators to better judge whether new practices are worth the try in their own context. However, engaging educators in producing trustworthy practice-based evidenc…
Attentional coordination in demonstrator-observer dyads facilitates learning and predicts performance in a novel manual task
A atribuição de cultura a primatas não humanos: A Controvérsia E a Busca Por Uma Abordagem Sintética
The Western ontological distinction between nature and culture, and the idea that the human (cultural) condition makes us radically different from other animals, are evident in the historical separation between the natural and social sciences.In parallel to other critics of this dualist view, some animal behaviorists have been using the term culture in relation to nonhumans, starting a controversy that is still far from cooling down.In this study…
