What makes humans
different?
Michael Tomasello
Mike
Origins of Human Communication
The cultural origins of human cognition
We evolved to do things together
We show where we are looking
Because we want to cooperate
Chimpanzees HIDE where they’re looking
They are competing more
Animals DO cooperate
Wolves hunting bison
But HUMANS are BETTER
Humans are much better at this

共同の目的
• Joint goal
• Joint attention
• Part of our perspective:
• Fairness
• Equality
• etc
What makes us HUMAN?
•We see from OTHERS’ point
of view!
•Animals, not so much
•We share attention
•We each have our own point
of view
That’s the big difference
Children want to play together
Chimpanzees are less interested
For example: Pointing
1 year old babies understand pointing
Animals don’t get it
Chimpanzees don’t understand that we are
trying to help
There’s something useful for YOU
Chimpanzees don’t get it
Pragmatics 語用論
Language use in real situations
Cooperation is the GOAL
Cooperation: I’m telling you something
useful for you
So CULTURE -- cooperation
So CULTURE – started a long time ago
Homo?
Australopithecus afarensis
Lucy: 2 ~ 4 million years ago
Brains: smaller than ours
Bodies: smaller than ours
More like apes – long arms for tree-life
Bigger guts than humans
But walking on two legs
Eating meat
Homo habilis?
2 ~ 1.5 million years ago
Used tools
Mouths and teeth getting smaller
Eating meat?
Homo ergaster
Getting more like us
But not quite
Can’t make as many sounds as us
But culture and cooperation was
developing
They were communicating
They were evolving
They were evolving to become like us!
Homo Erectus: Smaller mouths and teeth
They had communities
They had fire
Tools
They could cook
Their food was softer
They had culture
Less time chewing and eating
More time for hunting
They were communicating
They were SPEAKING
And they got better and better at it
They evolved
Mike: It was a slow process
Mike: Evolution
Remember Dan Everett?
Dan: It was a slow process
Dan: Evolution
NO! ランダム(突然)変異
You don’t know they were cooperating!
You don’t know they were communicating!
ランダム(突然)変異
They had fire
Tools
They could cook
Their food was softer
Their mouths evolved because they were
eating cooked food
Catching fire
Richard Wrangham: Catching fire
Dick: Cooking helped us evolve
Dick: Cooking gave us Homo Erectus
Dick: humans have been cooking for 2
million years!
Wonderwerk cave in South Africa
Cooking at least 1 million years ago
Dick: Cooking gives more calories
Dick: Less chewing, more free time
Dick: Our brains got bigger
Dick: Our jaws got smaller
Dick: Our guts got smaller
Dick: We could walk and run better
持続狩り
Persistence
hunting狩
Endurance
Hunting
持久力狩り狩
Remember indexes?
We become good at reading signs
We use hand signs (symbols)
We are NOT good sprinters
We lose sight of the animal
So we must IMAGINE the path
Our hands are free
We can carry water
We catch food – and COOK it
More nutritious, softer food
Dick: Our mouths changed so WE COULD
SPEAK
Our speech organs evolved
We were eating softer, cooked food
We started cooking a long time ago
Two million years!!
We got more nutrition
Our brains grew
Our guts got smaller
We could stand up straighter
We could run better
We could hunt better
Better nutrition
from cooking
Our mouths
changed
We got bigger
Smaller guts
Bigger brains
Stand upright
Good long-distance
runners
Longer legs
We have fire
We can live on the
ground
Less chewing
That’s why our mouths
changed
We
have
fire
We
can
live on
the
ground
We get
better
at
walking
and
running
We can
cook
More
nutrition
Our
brains
get
bigger
Our
guts
get
smaller
We get
better
at
hunting
We
chew
less
We
have
more
free
time
Our
mouths
can
change
Our speech organs evolved
Because we were speaking
We WERE speaking!
A million years ago – we were
speaking?
A million years ago …
•Our mouths and tongues were
evolving for speech
•Our brains were getting bigger
•We were speaking!!
No! Forget evolution!
No! Forget all of that!
ランダム(突然)変異
Maybe our speech organs DID evolve
But NOT because we were speaking!
Because we were making better tools!
Because we could control fire!
We could cook!
We could eat nice SOFT food!
To get better nutrition!
So our brains could grow etc!
OK
But do
you
really
believe
But do
you really
believe
We could
cooperate
in hunting
But do you
really believe
We could
cooperate in
controlling fire
But do you
really
believe
We could
cooperate in
toolmaking
But do you
really
believe
We could
cooperate in
COOKING
But do you
really believe
We NEVER
tried to
speak!
YES! ランダム(突然)変異
Speech had to wait until 50,000 years ago
AFTER our speech organs were ALREADY
fully developed
AFTER our brains were ALREADY fully
developed
Language ability suddenly appeared
•Only 50,000 ~ 100,000
years ago!
•By accident!
•AFTER we developed
modern mouths and
tongues!!
Language ability suddenly appeared
•Only 50,000 ~ 100,000
years ago!
•By accident!
•AFTER we developed
modern brains!!
You believe that?
You can believe whatever you want
… but I CAN’T believe that
