Osiurak and Reynaud highlight the critical role of technical-reasoning skills in the emergence of human cumulative technological culture (CTC), in contrast to previous accounts foregrounding social-reasoning skills as key to CTC. We question their analysis of the available evidence, yet for other reasons applaud the emphasis on causal understanding as central to the adaptive and collaborative dynamics of CTC.
奥西拉克和雷纳德强调了技术推理技能在人类累积技术文化（CTC）出现中的关键作用，这与以前将社会推理技能作为 CTC 关键的观点形成了对比。我们对他们对现有证据的分析提出质疑，但出于其他原因，我们赞赏他们对因果理解的重视，这是 CTC 的适应性和协作动态的核心。
