We evaluate Henriques' Justification Hypothesis (JH; this issue) and argue that his explanation for the evolution of self-consciousness is overly narrow and the evolutionary sequence of events is backwards. Instead, we propose a broader theory of the evolution of self-consciousness, with four categories of adaptive functions: (a) self-regulation, (b) selective information processing, (c) understanding others, and (d) identity formation.
我们评估了恩里克斯的正当性假设（JH；本期），并认为他对自我意识进化的解释过于狭隘，且进化事件的顺序是颠倒的。相反，我们提出了一个关于自我意识进化的更广泛理论，包括四类适应性功能：（a）自我调节，（b）选择性信息处理，（c）理解他人，以及（d）身份形成。
