Rama<br><br>ABOUT PROTOLANG<br>The Protolang conference series creates an
interdisciplinary platform for<br>scholarly discussion on the origins of
symbolic communication distinctive of<br>human beings.<br>The thematic focus of
Protolang is on delineating the genetic, anatomical,<br>neuro-cognitive,
socio-cultural, semiotic, symbolic and ecological<br>requirements for evolving
(proto)language. Sign use, tools, cooperative<br>breeding, pointing,
vocalisation, intersubjectivity, bodily mimesis,<br>planning and navigation are
among many examples of such possible factors<br>through which hominins have
gained a degree of specificity that is not found<br>in other forms of animal
communication and cognition.<br>We aim at identifying the proximate and ultimate
causes as well as the<br>mechanisms by which these requirements evolved;
evaluating the<br>methodologies, research tools and simulation techniques; and
enabling<br>extended and vigorous exchange of ideas across disciplinary
borders.<br><br>ORGANIZERS<br>Protolang 6 is organized by the Applied
Evolutionary Epistemology Lab and<br>the Primate Cognition Research Group of the
Center for Philosophy of Science<br>of the Faculty of Science of the University
of Lisbon; the William James<br>Center for Research of ISPA - University
Institute of Psychological, Social<br>and Life Sciences (ISPA - Instituto
Universitário de Ciências Psicológicas,<br>Sociais e da Vida); the Católica
Research Center for Psychological, Family<br>and Social Well-Being of the
Catholic University of Lisbon (Universidade<br>Católica Portuguesa); and the
Portuguese Association for Archaeological<br>Investigation (APIA - Associação
Portuguesa de Investigação Arqueológica).<br>Protolang 6 is additionally
sponsored by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation;<br>the Portuguese Foundation
for Science and Technology; FCiências.ID, the<br>Association for the
Investigation and Development of the Sciences of the<br>Faculty of Science of
the University of Lisbon; SEAC - the European Society<br>for Astronomy in
Culture; and the Philosophy of Formal Sciences,<br>Epistemology and Methodology
division of the Center for Philosophy of<br>Science.
