Symmetry for the sake of symmetry, or symmetry for the sake of behavior?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 June 2003
Abstract
Wynn suggests that the imposition of symmetry on stone tools is indicative of the evolutionary development of cognitive abilities of the tool makers, particularly that of creating mental images. I suggest that it is more likely indicative of the evolutionary development of the perceptual ability to detect resources for behavior of hand-held objects.
