Advantages for humans and human groups. Selective advanges are central to any evolutionary processes. Maybe the most impotant consequence for each questioning individual was that the emergence of the question phenomenon turned the hominid brain into an open, self-developing system. We start our cognitive development from childhood by asking questions, and the biggest hum. tinue to ask original questions throughout their lives
If you imagine two groups of humans (or hominids), out of which one group members are asking questions of each other, and the other group members are una ble to do so, the difference will be so obvious and important that it would be correct to speak in the hirst case about a group of humans and in the second case about a group of hominids,
The evolutionary implicati... (查看原文)
Therefore, I suggest that Aposematism could better explain manycases of the colorful plumage and colorations of the insects, or the habitof singing, than such an unstable factor as female choice We can alsoremember here Wallace's famous remark that sexual selection is veryunlikely to be working in the case of such low class creatures as insectswhere the presence of aesthetic feelings or the conscious female choicewas very unlikely to be present.

大概翻了一下，最具启发性的观点就是：人类最原始的武器是虚构。

在图书馆一个小时阅读完。作者的观念比较有趣，听起来也有道理。一个是先有复音，至少是和单音同时发展，主要的原因是为了生存，吓走大型动物。人类力量强大后，复音反而有可能消失。二是人类哼唱也是为了生存，传递安全信息。还有个有趣的点是所有婴儿的第一声啼哭音高都是A，不知真假
