beings share many cognitive skills with their nearest primate relatives,
especially those for dealing with the physical world of objects (and categories
and quantities of objects) in space and their causal interrelations. But humans
are in addition biologically adapted for cultural life in ways that other
primates are not. Specifically, humans have evolved unique motivations and
cognitive skills for understanding other persons as cooperative agents with
whom one can share emotions, experience, and collaborative actions (shared
intentionality). These motivations and skills first emerge in human ontogeny at
around one year of age, as infants begin to participate with other persons in
various kinds of collaborative and joint attentional activities. Participation
in such activities leads humans to construct during ontogeny perspectival and
dialogical cognitive representations<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;border:none;padding:0in'>After
years of debate about whether chimpanzees do or do not have a "theory of
mind", recent research suggests that the question must be asked in a more
differentiated way. Thus, there is currently very good evidence that
chimpanzees understand that others have goals, and even intentions in the sense
that actors choose a behavioral means to their goal in light of the constraints
of the situation. Similarly, there is currently very good evidence that
chimpanzees understand that others see things, and even know things (in the sense
of having seen them previously). Nevertheless, despite several seemingly valid
attempts, there is currently no evidence that chimpanzees understand false
beliefs. Our conclusion for the moment is thus that chimpanzees understand
others in terms of a perception–goal psychology, as opposed to a
full-fledged, human-like belief–desire psychology.<o:p></o:p></p>
