Abstract
This paper is a methodological and theoretical meditation on how some research has approached the question of the evolution of human cognitive traits I discuss views that explicitly or implicitly endorse a view of human cognition as originating from a cause that can be singled out Following Ross and Ladyman 2010 I suggest that this “singlingout” strategy correlates with a “container” metaphor that doesn’t fit with the interactive processontology of modern physics Campbell 2009 Instead Ross and Ladyman as well as Campbell recommend the metaphor of ‘emergence’ The logic and ontology of emergent systems finds resonance with developmental systems theory in biology I suggest in agreement with Stotz Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences 94 2010 that we view the origins of human mindedness within such a framework
