| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In 2010, we launched the major five-year (2010-2014) research project entitled “Replacement of Neanderthals by Modern Humans: Testing Evolutionary Models of Learning” (RNMH). The RNMH project interprets the replacement of Neanderthals by modern humans in an innovative framework that illuminates the contrast between modern human societies, which succeeded in solving survival-strategic problems, and Neanderthal societies, which failed to do so. Thus, we have proposed a working hypothesis (the “learning hypothesis”), which explains the replacement occurred as a result of the difference in learning abilities between Neanderthals and modern humans, and that the social and cultural divides caused by this difference determined the outcome, and have subjected this hypothesis to various empirical tests.
