Introduction

+ 中尾・三中(編)『文化系統学への招待』勁草書房.

- 文化系統学:文化進化研究の一端
 →文化進化研究とは何ぞや?
 →考古学の事例を使って文化進化研究の
  構造を紹介.
 →文化の歴史研究と生物の歴史研究は
  意外に親和的で似た部分があり,
  両者は対象が異なるだけで,
  同じ“歴史科学”の一部である.

- 時間GIS研究会ですので,文化進化研究に
 おける時間についても最後に少し.

                3
Introduction

+ 進化研究の大枠:パターンとプロセス
- パターン:歴史的・地理的パターン
 →系統学の対象は歴史的パターン(先祖-子孫関係)
 →文化系統学:文化の様々な対象に系統学的手法を適用
- プロセス:自然選択,遺伝的浮動,etc.
 →進化生態学などで用いられる最適化モデルに基づいた
  道具の進化に関する考察

Outline

1. Inferring evolutionary patterns:
      Cultural phylogenetics

2. Inferring evolutionary processes (1):
      Optimality models in archaeology

3. Inferring evolutionary processes (2):
      Cognitive mechanisms behind the evolution of
       tools and technologies


                            5

                         - 11500∼10000年前の南東アメリカで
                           出土した矢じり
                         - 左図:別の場所での炭素年代測定や
                           層序学的分析からの外挿による推定
                         (1)系統関係が分からない
                         (2)SuwanneeなどはClovisより古い?

 in favor of more expedient core/flake technology (176).

+ The natural pedagogy (NP) hypothesis by Csibra & Gergely:
   + NP is a set of human unique and innate cognitive adaptations
     “to transfer knowledge to, and receive knowledge from,
     conspecifics through teaching” (Csibra & Gergely 2006, 252).

     “[W]e hypothesize that the "birth of [natural] pedagogy"
     was necessitated by extensive tool use by early hominid
     groups...In fact, proliferation of tool use, and the emergence
     of rich artefact culture, would have probably been impossible
     without an efficient social learning mechanism [i.e., natural
     pedagogy] that enabled transmission of not just observable
     behaviours but also unobservable knowledge” (Csibra &
     Gergely 2006, 253).

[Natural pedagogy] makes it possible to efficiently convey
knowledge with opaque content to others in a single act of
demonstration not only because the recipient is prepared to
recognize such actions as communicative demonstrations, but
also because the addressee has the default expectation that the
content of the demonstration represents shared cultural
knowledge and is generalizable along some relevant dimension
to other objects, other occasions or other individuals
                        (Csibra & Gergely, 2011, 1150, emphasis added).

(1) NP includes a set of human unique and innate cognitive traits,
(2) enables novice learners to gain generalizable or shared and
    relevant knowledge more efficiently,
(3) especially in opaque contexts, across different domains from
    a single demonstration that is marked with OSs.

Conclusion

+ まとめておくと:
・考古学と生物学,心理学などが連携しながら文化進化研究が
 色々進められつつある.
・進化生物学の研究枠組み・観点・手法が文化の歴史的変遷を考察
 していくにあたって結構有用である
・導入でも述べたように,文化/生物と対象は異なるが,両者は
 同じ“歴史科学”の分岐した枝.
 →とかいう話を先日地球惑星物理学者と古生物学者と西洋史家を
  集めた研究会でも少ししていました.




                 37
Conclusion

+ 最後は「時間」について:
・生物進化と文化進化のスピードが違う,という指摘
・道具・技術進化などで設定される時間枠は長くて数千年
 生物進化などでは数万とか数十万とか.下手すれば数億とか.
 →でも,だからどうした
 →スピードが違っても十分方法論は使える
  +認知の進化などは生物形質の進化(当たり前だが)
・以上ふまえると,もちろん文化/生物進化の時間スピードは
 異なるのだが,それが両者を分け隔てる要素にはなりえない

Inferring evolutionary processes (2) + The natural pedagogy (NP) hypothesis by Csibra & Gergely: + NP is a set of human unique and innate cognitive adaptations “to transfer knowledge to, and receive knowledge from, conspecifics through teaching” (Csibra & Gergely 2006, 252). “[W]e hypothesize that the "birth of [natural] pedagogy" was necessitated by extensive tool use by early hominid groups...In fact, proliferation of tool use, and the emergence of rich artefact culture, would have probably been impossible without an efficient social learning mechanism [i.e., natural pedagogy] that enabled transmission of not just observable behaviours but also unobservable knowledge” (Csibra & Gergely 2006, 253). 32
  • 33. Inferring evolutionary processes (2) [Natural pedagogy] makes it possible to efficiently convey knowledge with opaque content to others in a single act of demonstration not only because the recipient is prepared to recognize such actions as communicative demonstrations, but also because the addressee has the default expectation that the content of the demonstration represents shared cultural knowledge and is generalizable along some relevant dimension to other objects, other occasions or other individuals (Csibra & Gergely, 2011, 1150, emphasis added). (1) NP includes a set of human unique and innate cognitive traits, (2) enables novice learners to gain generalizable or shared and relevant knowledge more efficiently, (3) especially in opaque contexts, across different domains from a single demonstration that is marked with OSs. 33
