Abstract

Tomasello et al.'s two prerequisites, we argue, are not sufficient to explain the emergence of joint Collaboration. An adequate account must include the human-specific capacity to communicate relevant information (that may have initially evolved to ensure efficient cultural learning). This, together with understanding intentional actions, does provide sufficient preconditions for joint Collaboration without the need to postulate a primary human motive to share others' psychological states.
