摘要: Archeological evidence of the sophisticated cognitive attributes thought to define humanity – such as symbolism, language, theory mind, and a spiritual sense is, by large, late-emerging (after 50,000 years before present [ybp]), postdating emergence anatomically modern humans (AMH). This suggests that relevant selection pressures for these abilities did not emerge until after arrival fully human body brain. I argue this stands reason since pressure responsible uniquely cognition was human-made. Human culture created cognition. The key facet ritual. Ritual filtered Homo sapiens very made us what we are today.
