[rohrpost] Re: LANGUAGE EVOLVED FOR STORYTELLING IN A SUPER-FAST EVOLUTION

[Till Nikolaus von Heiseler]

Der Text ist der Versuch systemtheoretisches Denken auf die Evolution des
Menschen anzuwenden. Freue mich über Feedback

Language is what makes us human. It is the basis of human knowledge,
culture, and society. Despite its importance, how language evolved is still
a mystery. Various recent studies suggest that humans developed through a
"super-fast" evolutionary process found nowhere else within the animal
kingdom. This suggests a discontinuity in the evolutionary process itself.
We propose the following model: Humans evolved in a unique evolutionary
system consisting of two feedback loops, there being a backchannel between
them; the lower loop producing the variations needed for selection in the
upper loop to take place. What is meant by the "backchannel" here is a
structure enabling the selection of the lower loop to "anticipate" the
selection of the upper one. The content of this backchannel is displaced
action encoded in narration. We show that not only the human brain and
language but also most of the unique human faculties (including theory of
mind, episodic memory, and the unique human altruism) are adapted almost
exclusively to developing the functioning of the backchannel (narration) at
a super-fast evolutionary pace.

Rethinking Human Evolution! - This paper explains in a scientific way the
evolution of the language capacity for the first time. Be prepared to
change your view on human nature, sociality and yourself!
