在考察欧洲从旧石器时代中期向晚期过渡期间尼安德特人灭绝和解剖学上的现代人扩张的原因时，不仅他们的人口密度的波动，而且与群体间文化传播相关的大规模社会关系的建立也值得我们关注。在这篇文章中，我们建立了一个基于主体的模型模拟，以阐明在欧洲旧石器时代晚期初期，解剖学上的现代人扩大社会关系的机制。该模型预测，当解剖学上的现代人扩展到欧洲，由于居住地的移动而变得不太可能相遇时，大多数个人或群体将他们的学习策略从“觅食学习”改变为“收集学习”，而少数个体或群体专门从事“吸引器学习”。“吸引者”成为社会网络的枢纽，各种代理人在其中联系在一起，从而促进了文化的加速积累。这篇论文通过关注一个社会群体的特征的影响，阐明了该模型检验了一系列“现代”行为特征的出现。
When examining the cause of Neanderthal extinction and the expansion of anatomically modern humans in Europe during the transition from the Middle to the Upper Palaeolithic, not only fluctuations in their population density but also the establishment of large-scale social relationships associated with intergroup cultural transmission should draw our attention. In this paper, we built an agent-based model simulation to clarify the mechanism by which anatomically modern humans expanded their social relationships in the beginning of the Upper Palaeolithic in Europe. The model predicts that most individuals or groups changed their learning strategies from “forager learning” to “collector learning” when anatomically modern humans expanded into Europe and became less likely to encounter one another due to residential moves, whereas a few agents specialized in “attractor learning.” “Attractors” become the hub of a social network in which various agents were linked, thus promoting accelerated cultural accumulation. This paper sheds light on the model to examine the appearance of a full range of “modern” behavioral traits by focusing on the effects of a social group’s characteristics.
