最近发现，印度尼西亚苏拉威西岛洞穴中的标志性描绘比旧石器时代晚期的欧洲更古老，这引发了诸如此类图像何时首次出现以及为什么两个地点的图形结果如此相似的问题。在本文中，我们表明，这些问题可以通过利用最近在感知心理学和视觉大脑神经科学方面进行的广泛研究来解决，这些研究允许确定图标描述在理解认知进化中的适当位置。
Abstract The recent discovery that iconic depictions in caves on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi are more ancient than those from Upper Palaeolithic Europe raises questions as to when such images first arose and why the graphic outcomes from the two locations are so similar. In this paper, we show that these questions can be addressed by exploiting the extensive research carried out over the recent past on the psychology of perception and the neuroscience of the visual brain that allows the proper place of iconic depictions in understanding cognitive evolution to be determined.
