Darwin’s road not taken: white sclera, shared intentionality, niche construction, predator fear, teams and Homo origins

2023-10-23

Abstract excerpt

<p>Palaeoanthropologists have yet to pinpoint how Homo evolved from Australopithecus. I propose niche construction ending predator ambush and stalking attacks, white sclera, and ultrafast team cognition were key.Human white sclera allows the quick, distant detection of line-of-sight. This is unique. In other primates, predators eliminate conspicuous-eyed individuals. Consequently, nonhuman primates have coloured s...
