Late Pleistocene skill domains: commentary on Sterelny & Hiscock

Current Anthropology (forthcoming)

Abstract

Sterelny and Hiscock (S&H) argue against the centrality of high-fidelity copying in cumulative culture. I address one key strand of their case, the decoupling of expertise from precise imitation. This advances understanding of hominin skill acquisition, and underlines a puzzle about domain-specificity.
