Abstract

Lew-Levy and Amir’s contribution highlights issues with our current frameworks and methods for understanding the evolution of human behaviour. We fully concur that more attention should be paid to integrating children’s learning into models of cultural evolution and to positioning cultural adaptation in a long-term perspective to better understand the role of children in both the past and the present.
