Teaching unleashes expression

Gärdenfors, Peter LU (2023) In The Behavioral and brain sciences 46. p.9-9
Abstract

I propose that the evolution of teaching has been central in extending manipulative intentions. Demonstrating may be the evolutionarily first form of expression that is productive, ostensive, and involves informative intention. Demonstration also involves theory of mind. Then pantomime goes a step further and involves a communicative intention. Pantomime can thereby function as displaced communication used for more complex expressions.
