| Research Abstract |
The present project aimed to investigate the evolutionary basis of human complex cognition by exploring social intelligence from comparative cognitive perspectives. Regarding the understanding of self, the study showed that great ape have an understanding of proper self as well as specific processing of the sound of the own name. Regarding the understanding of others, they showed holistic processing of facial pictures in a similar way to humans, while they lacked ostensive communicative behaviors to their cooperative partner, or triadic interactions of self-other-object, which are both fundamental characteristics of humans.
