In the article, “That’s What You Think,” Mercier, who works at a French research institute in Lyon, and Sperber, now based at the Central European University, in Budapest, point out that, “Reason is an evolved trait, “It emerged on the savannas of Africa, and has to be understood in that context.” I got to understand from Mercier and Sperber that living in small bands of hunter-gatherers, our ancestors were primarily concerned with their social standing, and with making sure that they were not the ones risking their lives on the hunt while others loafed around in the cave. I got to understand from this article that at any given moment, a field may be dominated by squabbles, but in the end, methodology prevails. Science moves forward, even as we remain stuck in place.
