On the Evolutionary Origins of the Bifocal Stance.
[Preprint]
Abstract
In this commentary, we advance Jagiello et al.’s (2022) proposal by zooming in on the possible evolutionary origins of the ‘bifocal stance’ that may have enabled a major transition in human cultural evolution, arguing that the evolution of the bifocal stance was driven by an explosion in cultural complexity arising from cooperative foraging, that led to a feedback loop between the ritual and instrumental stances.
