摘要

斯蒂巴德-霍克斯有力地提醒我们注意符号考古学中假否定推理的陷阱。我们强调假阳性推理的孪生问题，我们称之为“假符号问题”。虚假符号是直观上特殊的实体，由于其非功利性质，需要符号解释。但它们并不是象征性的。我们将伪符号问题与灵长类动物的比较认知联系起来，以“灵长类艺术”为主要例子。

All that glitters is not gold: The false-symbol problem in archaeology.

Stibbard-Hawkes forcefully alerts us to the pitfall of false-negative reasoning in symbolic archaeology. We highlight the twin problem of false-positive reasoning in what we call the "false-symbol problem." False symbols are intuitively special entities that, owing to their non-utilitarian nature, invite symbolic interpretation. But they are not symbolic. We link the false-symbol problem to work in comparative primate cognition, taking "primate art" as our main example.

期刊介绍： Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS) is a highly respected journal that employs an innovative approach called Open Peer Commentary. This format allows for the publication of noteworthy and contentious research from various fields including psychology, neuroscience, behavioral biology, and cognitive science. Each article is accompanied by 20-40 commentaries from experts across these disciplines, as well as a response from the author themselves. This unique setup creates a captivating forum for the exchange of ideas, critical analysis, and the integration of research within the behavioral and brain sciences, spanning topics from molecular neurobiology and artificial intelligence to the philosophy of the mind.
