Primate Report 72__2005 .Pdf Welcome Welcome! It is my pleasure to welcome you to Göttingen on behalf of the members of the council of the EFP and GfP, as well as all colleagues at the German Primate Centre and Georg-August University. This first joint congress of the European Federation for Primatology and the Gesellschaft für Primatologie offers an opportunity to estab- lish new ties and to strengthen existing relationships with colleagues from across Europe. I hope that this meeting will provide a stimulating setting for exchanging new results and for learning about interesting studies in the various disciplines of primatology. The EFP is a federation of all national primatological societies and groups in Eu- rope. In order to bring all students and researchers studying primate biology, as well as those using primates as model organisms and those contributing to primate con- servation from all over Europe together, the EFP council decided to organise a bi-an- nual congress to promote discussion and awareness of all aspects of primatology across disciplines and national boundaries. The GfP has offered its bi-annual meet- ing as a platform for this European initiative, and the general turnout is encourag- ing. I therefore hope that you will use this opportunity and help us bring European primatology together and provide it with new momentum. I hope that you will enjoy the scientific sessions and various social activities of this congress, as well as your stay in Göttingen. Sincerely, Peter M. Kappeler Conference organizer Primate Report 72, August 2005 3 Acknowledgements Acknowledgements It is a great pleasure to thank the following agencies, institutions and people for making this conference possible and for helping with its organisation: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, Bonn Niedersächsisches Ministerium für Wissenschaft und Kultur, Hannover Deutsches Primatenzentrum, Göttingen Georg-August Universität Göttingen Ulrike Walbaum, Eckhard Heymann, Manfred Eberle, Guni Wilz and especially Claudia Fichtel for their help with the practical organisation of this congress 4 Primate Report 72, August 2005 Programme Scientific Programme Tuesday, 09.08.2005 Arrival and registration (University Central Lecture Halls / ZHG) Lecture Hall: Orangutan 18:00 Welcome: Peter Kappeler Carel van Schaik & Karin Isler Cognitive and life-history evolution in primates 19:30 Reception at the townhall GfP Mitgliederversammlung Wednesday, 10.08.2005 17:15 - 19:00 Lecture Hall: Baboon Football tournament Thursday, 11.08.2005 18:30 Sport Institute of the University PARTY !

  • The Origins of Grammar in Self-Modelling I Am What I Am: the Origins of Grammar in Self-Modelling
    Martin Edwardes I Am What I Am: the origins of grammar in self-modelling I Am What I Am: The origins of grammar in self-modelling Language is often identified as a defining difference between humans and nonhumans; but is it a feature with its own evolutionary explanation, or is it an adjunct of some other trait, evolved for reasons only indirectly related to language? Despite Noam Chomsky‟s view that language evolved for thinking1, it is generally believed that language is a product of socialisation, the need for individuals to exchange social information. And, if we look at the social information exchanged, we see forms of modelling that are absent from signalling systems used by other animals. First, there is modelling of the relationships between others: the simple sentence Alf likes Beth requires the receiver not just to recognise a single referent or context, but to bring two conceptualised individuals together and establish a relationship between them. Second, there is modelling of events in the past and future: where other animal signalling is dominated by current events, these play only a small part in human discourse. Third, there is modelling of what-if: we can discuss not just future probabilities and past certainties, but events that are unlikely to, or did not, happen. Fourth, there is modelling of the intentions of others; and fifth, there is modelling of our own self. The question of selfhood has long been recognised as vital to understand what makes us human. Even before Darwin‟s theory of evolution by descent, Wilhelm von Humboldt stated that: … the customary demands of mankind are satisfactorily met by forces of nature and by the mechanical continuation of human activity.

  • Understanding and Sharing Intentions: the Origins of Cultural Cognition
    BEHAVIORAL AND BRAIN SCIENCES (2005) 28, 000–000 Printed in the United States of America Understanding and sharing intentions: The origins of cultural cognition Michael Tomasello, Malinda Carpenter, Josep Call, Tanya Behne, and Henrike Moll Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, D-04103 Leipzig, Germany [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract: We propose that the crucial difference between human cognition and that of other species is the ability to participate with others in collaborative activities with shared goals and intentions: shared intentionality. Participation in such activities requires not only especially powerful forms of intention reading and cultural learning, but also a unique motivation to share psychological states with oth- ers and unique forms of cognitive representation for doing so. The result of participating in these activities is species-unique forms of cultural cognition and evolution, enabling everything from the creation and use of linguistic symbols to the construction of social norms and individual beliefs to the establishment of social institutions. In support of this proposal we argue and present evidence that great apes (and some children with autism) understand the basics of intentional action, but they still do not participate in activities involving joint intentions and attention (shared intentionality). Human children’s skills of shared intentionality develop gradually during the first 14 months of life as two ontogenetic pathways intertwine: (1) the general ape line of understanding others as animate, goal-directed, and intentional agents; and (2) a species-unique motivation to share emotions, experience, and activities with other persons.
