Culture: The Driving Force of Human Cognition
In: ISSN: 1756-8757 ; EISSN: 1756-8765 ; Topics in cognitive science ; https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-02998428 ; Topics in cognitive science, Wiley, 2020, 12 (2), pp.654-672. ⟨10.1111/tops.12372⟩ (2020)
Abstract: International audience ; It is often, though sometimes only implicitly, assumed that biological/genetic evolution sets neural substrates, that neural substrates fix cognitive abilities, and that cognitive abilities determine the spectrum of cultural practices exhibited by a biological species. We label this view as the "bottom-up-only" view. In this paper we will show that such a "chain of dependence" is much looser than usually assumed, especially as far as recent periods (the last 800,000 years versus the last seven million or more) are considered. We will provide evidence and arguments supporting the idea that cultural innovation may have direct and ascertainable effects both on the cognitive capabilities of populations of hominins (via what we call "cultural exaptation") and on the neural substrates of the individuals in those populations (via what we call "cultural neural reuse"). Together, cultural exaptation and cultural neural reuse may give raise to a plausible general mechanism for cognitive evolution in which culture is the driving force, thus offering a "top-down-also" view of human evolution. Response to Reviewers: Dear Fiona, Thank you for the opportunity to resubmit a revised version of our manuscript Culture: the driving force of human cognition. We address below, introduced by an asterisk (*), on a point by point basis, how we have addressed the comments raised by you and the reviewers. As you will see, we have made almost all the changes suggested by you and them, including those concerning the figures. We think that, thanks to the comments and issues raised by the reviewers and synthetized by you, the paper is now much stronger. We hope that the revised manuscript will be accepted by TopiCS as we believe that it is a significant contribution and of interest for a large scientific audience.
