BBS Call for Commentators: Wynn, Archaeology and Cognitive Evolution

by Behavioral & Brain Sciences

Below is a link to the forthcoming BBS target article Archaeology and Cognitive Evolution by Thomas Wynn http://www.bbsonline.org/Preprints/Wynn/Referees/ This article has been accepted for publication in Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS), an international, interdisciplinary journal providing Open Peer Commentary on important and controversial current research in the biobehavioral and cognitive sciences. If you are interested in submitting a commentary on this paper, or would like to suggest someone else as a potential commentator on this paper, please read on. Commentators must be BBS Associates or nominated by a BBS Associate. To be considered as a commentator for this article, to suggest other appropriate commentators, or for information about how to become a BBS Associate, please reply by EMAIL within within three (3) weeks to: calls(a)bbsonline.org The Calls are sent to 10,000 BBS Associates, so there is no expectation (indeed, it would be calamitous) that each recipient should comment on every occasion! Hence there is no need to reply except if you wish to comment, or to suggest someone to comment. If you are not a BBS Associate, please approach a current BBS Associate (there are currently over 10,000 worldwide) who is familiar with your work to nominate you. All past BBS authors, referees and commentators are eligible to become BBS Associates. An electronic list of current BBS Associates is available at this location to help you select a name: http://www.bbsonline.org/Instructions/assoclist.html If no current BBS Associate knows your work, please send us your Curriculum Vitae and BBS will circulate it to appropriate Associates to ask whether they would be prepared to nominate you. (In the meantime, your name, address and email address will be entered into our database as an unaffiliated investigator.) ======================================================================= IMPORTANT To help us put together a balanced list of commentators, please give some indication of the aspects of the topic on which you would bring your areas of expertise to bear if you were selected as a commentator. To help you decide whether you would be an appropriate commentator for this article, an electronic draft is retrievable from the online BBSPrints Archive, at the URL proceeding the abstract below. _______________________________________________________________________ ARCHAEOLOGY AND COGNITIVE EVOLUTION Thomas Wynn Department of Anthropology University of Colorado Colorado Springs KEYWORDS: archaeology, symmetry, spatial cognition, evolution, Homo erectus ABSTRACT: Archaeology can provide two bodies of information relevant to the understanding of the evolution of human cognition - the timing of developments, and the evolutionary context of these developments. The challenge is methodological. Archaeology must document attributes that have direct implications for underlying cognitive mechanisms. One example of such a cognitive archaeology is that for spatial cognition. The archaeological record documents an evolutionary sequence that begins with ape-equivalent spatial abilities 2.5 million years ago and ends with the appearance of modern abilities in the still remote past of 400,000 years ago. The timing of these developments reveals two major episodes in the evolution in spatial ability, one 1.5 million years ago and the other one million years later. The two episodes of development in spatial cognition had very different evolutionary contexts. The first was associated with the shift to an open country adaptive niche that occurred early in the time range of Homo erectus. The second was associated with no clear adaptive shift, though it does appear to have coincided with the invasion of more hostile environments and the appearance of systematic hunting of large mammals. Neither, however, occurred in a context of modern hunting and gathering. http://www.bbsonline.org/Preprints/Wynn/Referees/ ====================================================================== IMPORTANT Please do not prepare a commentary yet. Just let us know, after having inspected it, what relevant expertise you feel you would bring to bear on what aspect of the article. We will then let you know whether it was possible to include your name on the final formal list of invitees. ======================================================================= *** SUPPLEMENTARY ANNOUNCEMENT *** (1) Call for Book Nominations for BBS Multiple Book Review In the past, Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS) had only been able to do 1-2 BBS multiple book treatments per year, because of our limited annual page quota. BBS's new expanded page quota will make it possible for us to increase the number of books we treat per year, so this is an excellent time for BBS Associates and biobehavioral/cognitive scientists in general to nominate books you would like to see accorded BBS multiple book review. (Authors may self-nominate, but books can only be selected on the basis of multiple nominations.) It would be very helpful if you indicated in what way a BBS Multiple Book Review of the book(s) you nominate would be useful to the field (and of course a rich list of potential reviewers would be the best evidence of its potential impact!). *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Please note: Your email address has been added to our user database for Calls for Commentators, the reason you received this email.

Szabó Theoretical Physics Research Group of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences Department of History and Philosophy of Science Eötvös University, Budapest A kauzalitás ontológiai felfogása (Ontological theory of causality) Az okság Hume-i analíziséből kiindulva kritikailag áttekintjük a kauzalitás episztemikus, modális és valószínűségi felfogását. Kicsit bővebben időzünk Lewis kontrafaktuális analízisénél és a "véletlen együttjárás" -ra vonatkozó ismert Sober-példánál. Ezt követően argumentumokat hangoztatunk az okság ontológiai felfogása mellett (Salmon és Russell nyomdokain haladva). Vegül megbeszéljük a kauzalitás és a korreláció viszonyát. 10 June 4:00 PM 6th floor 6.54 Language of presentation: English Friedrich Steinle Institute for Philosophy, Bern University Max-Planck-Institute for the History of Science, Berlin Discovering? Justifying? Experiments in History and Philosophy of Science The philosophical 'standard view' on experiment - finding the only epistemic function of experiment in the tests of well-formulated hypotheses - is closely connected to an implicit or explicit distinction of the contexts of discovery and justification. Recent studies, however, have opened more differentiated perspectives. In particular, there is a specific type of experiments discernible which I call "exploratory." Typically, it occurs in situations in which there is not only no theory available, but even the very concepts and categories of a subject field are opened to revision. Periods of exploratory experimentation often end up with a new conceptualization of the field, providing new outlooks and, at the same time, rendering other ones literally unspeakable. Exploratory experimentation can be contrasted to a more theory-driven type in many respects epistemic, procedural, instrumental, situative. Though it might be tempting to attribute those two types again to a dichotomy between discovery and justification, a closer look makes clear that such a view is inappropriate. At the same time, fundamental shortcomings of that distinction itself become visible. In my talk, I shall both explicate those claims in general terms and substantiate them by cases of experimental research in the history of electricity. Moreover, I shall propose a more promising perspective onto research practice and discuss where and why some type of discovery-justification distinction might well be appropriate. ___________________________________ The 60-minute lecture is followed by a 5-minute break. Then we held a 30-60-minute discussion.The participants may comment the talks and initiate discussion on the Internet. The comments should be written in the language of the presentation.
