Cambridge: MIT Press, 1996, xiii, 760 pp. ISBN 0-262-08250-0 The evolution of language is a hot topic. New books on the subject garner attention in the popular media, and their authors are sought for appearance on televised documentaries. Currently, the dominant view is that language evolved wholly within the hominid (human ancestral) lineage, whether beginning early in that lineage at millions of years ago (Pinker 1994) or only more recently with our own species (Bickerton 1995, Noble and Davidson 1996). Human language is thus sharply different from all types of animal communication. The contrasting, minority position (Savage-Rumbaugh et al. 1993, King 1994, Armstrong et al 1995) allows deeper roots for language and precursors to features of human language in animal communication systems. Variations on these two views have been repeated for centuries. Theorists in the first group seize any new scrap of information about the unique properties of human language to bolster their discontinuity view, whereas theorists in the second group search for data from the animal world to bolster their continuity view. The whole enterprise thus begins to resemble an endless ping-pong match with back-and-forth debate but little productive dialogue.

Boesch & Tomasello: Chimpanzee And Human Cultures The major result was that the motherreared apes hardly ever engaged in while the enculturated apes and the children imitatively learned the novel http://cogweb.ucla.edu/Abstracts/Boesch_Tomasello_98.html
Extractions: Current Anthropology 39.5 (Dec, 1998): 591- Abstract: The differences in cultural evolution between humans and chimpanzees can be primarily attributed to two factors. Humans possess a more complex language, allowing cultural dissemination to take place over greater lengths of time and spatiality. Human culture also incorporates the ratchet effect, permitting cumulative modifications to occur that create increasingly elaborate cultural practices. Full text Peer commentary Authors' reply Other works by Boesch ... Return to CogWeb's Evolutionary Psychology page Christophe Boesch and Michael Tomasello Our central theoretical point in this paper is that culture is not monolithic. We begin with an evolutionary perspective on patterns of cultural behavior in different chimpanzee communities in the wild, detailing some of the population-specific behaviors known in this species. We proceed to show that in general within one population there are many possible social conditions and lines of dissemination through which individuals may be exposed to particular behavioral practices within communities. We then show that there are many different types of social learning processes by means of which individuals may acquire these behavioral practices, and these different learning processes lead to cultural traditions with different properties over time. In this context we introduce some recent research on the social learning of captive chimpanzees. We conclude with an explicit comparison of chimpanzee and human cultures.

The Emergence Of A New Paradigm In Ape Language Research Discussions have thus primarily centered on the question of whether enculturated apes communicative behaviors can be compared with early norms in child http://cogprints.org/906/0/New_Paradigm.htm
Extractions: The Emergence of a New Paradigm in Ape Language Research Stuart Shanker and Barbara King §1. The Spreading Appeal of the Dance Metaphor In recent years the same metaphor has cropped up time and again in very different areas of communication studies. In Ape Language Research (ALR), Sue Savage-Rumbaugh observes how the origins of language comprehension lie in interindividual routines which are T signal and response sending and receiving , or encoding and decoding . But the dance metaphor leads one to conceptualize communicative encounters in terms such as engagement and disengagement synchrony and discord , or breakdown and repair . Whereas the transmission metaphor places the emphasis on the goal of communication, which is to transmit pre-determined messages, the dance metaphor focuses on the co-regulated activity of communicating and the emergence of communicative intentions within that context. The chief appeal of the dance metaphor is that it draws attention to how communicating partners continuously establish and sustain a feeling of shared rhythm and movement. Such a process of mutual attunement is established through a number of different modalities. Communicating partners not only mirror each others specific behaviors but may also attune to one another cross-modally. For example, an infant suddenly jerks her arms and her mother responds with a sharp Oh! that has the same temporal and intensity contour as the infants arm movement (Fogel: in press 7), or the tone of voice prompts the other to move closer or farther away.

Extractions: Spring 2002; completed Spring 2003 In his 1991 book Origins of the Modern Mind: Three Stages in the Evolution of Culture and Cognition , Merlin Donald presents the evolution of human cognition as a sequence of three transitions in dominant representational systems. Humans progressed from other primates by developing gestural, linguistic, and written storage and thought structures, thereby developing what Donald calls "mimetic," "mythic," and "theoretic" cultures. His approach is interdisciplinary and somewhat speculative he combines data from anthropology, archaeology, cognitive psychology, linguistics, and neurobiology to reconstruct the stages of evolutionary human cognitive development. After a decade replete with evolutionary accounts of human cognitive capacity, Donald wrote A Mind So Rare: The Evolution of Human Consciousness , arguing for the presence of a strong consciousness as one of the most important attributes of the human mind. Noting that a full account of human consciousness stands many years in the future, Donald sets out to describe what he can of the architecture, capabilities, and evolution of human consciousness. The result is a picture of a highly plastic domain-general capacity that can coordinate action, focus attention, and regulate activity, all typically in intermediate-term time frames. After ten years, Donald still holds the views expressed in

You couldn't walk to the store, go to the movies, or decide what to eat. After a while, you could end up losing your enthusiasm for life. Chimpanzees, orangutans, and other primates might feel the same way, says Lyn Miles. She's an anthropologist at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. "Apes are bored to death in most facilities," she says. "They pace. They develop nervous habits. They get depressed." Miles is a member of a vocal group of scientists and activists who say that captive apes deserve a richer life than they get in most zoos and primate centers. As president of a foundation called Animal Nation (formerly ApeNet), Miles is working with celebrities and others to create special preserves for primates. She described her project at a recent meeting of the American Primatological Society in Madison, Wis. A portrait of the orangutan known as Chantek, now a resident of Zoo Atlanta.

Both enculturated and semi-enculturated chimpanzees correctly chose the rigid rake which enabled them to obtain the reward, indicating that both of these groups understood the physical properties of the two different rakes. The enculturated chimpanzees successfully selected the functional rake, while the sanctuary chimpanzees chose randomly between the two hybrid tools. The captive laboratory chimpanzees failed both tests, as demonstrated in previously published work(2). 1. Furlong EE, Boose KJ, Boysen ST (2007).
