Abstract
Vaesen's description of uniquely human tool-related cognitive abilities rings true but would be enhanced by an account of how those abilities would have evolved. I suggest that a process of technological selection operated on the cognitive architecture of ancestral hominids because they, unlike other tool-using species, depended on tools for their survival.
摘要
瓦森对人类特有的与工具相关的认知能力的描述是正确的，但如果能说明这些能力是如何进化的，那就更好了。我认为，技术选择过程作用于古人类的认知架构，因为与其他使用工具的物种不同，古人类依靠工具生存。
