Development and neurophysiology of mentalizing.
Uta Frith,Chris D. Frith +1 more
TL;DR: The mentalizing (theory of mind) system of the brain is probably in operation from 18 months of age, allowing implicit attribution of intentions and other mental states, and from this age children are able to explain the misleading reasons that have given rise to a false belief.
Book ChapterDOI
The Evolution of Human Language: The faculty of language: what is it, who has it, and how did it evolve?
TL;DR: It is argued that an understanding of the faculty of language requires substantial interdisciplinary cooperation and how current developments in linguistics can be profitably wedded to work in evolutionary biology, anthropology, psychology, and neuroscience is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
The eyes have it: the neuroethology, function and evolution of social gaze
TL;DR: The hypothesis that gaze following is "hard-wired" in the brain, and may be localized within a circuit linking the superior temporal sulcus, amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of female social relationships in nonhuman primates
TL;DR: Evidence in support of the ecological model is reviewed and the power of alternative models that invoke between-group competition, forced female philopatry, demographic female recruitment, male interventions into female aggression, and male harassment are tested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Humans Have Evolved Specialized Skills of Social Cognition: The Cultural Intelligence Hypothesis
TL;DR: Supporting the cultural intelligence hypothesis and contradicting the hypothesis that humans simply have more “general intelligence,” it is found that the children and chimpanzees had very similar cognitive skills for dealing with the physical world but that theChildren had more sophisticated cognitive skills than either of the ape species for dealingWith the social world.
