Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita is one of a spectrum of skeletal disorders caused by mutations in the COL2A1 gene. The protein made by this gene forms type II collagen, a molecule found mostly in cartilage and in the clear gel that fills the eyeball (the vitreous ).
Nov 11, 2012 · Daniel Povinelli and his colleagues are well-known for their criticisms of claims that chimpanzees can understand mental states or the causal properties of tools (Povinelli and Eddy 1996; Reaux et al. 1999 ); in World without Weight, they extend and systematize this critique to a new domain, arguing that chimpanzees cannot understand the ...

- Solving Povinelli’s Problem
Lurz and Krachun’s proposed experimental protocol places chimpanzees in a competitive situation where food is at stake. One of the dependent measures in their protocol is anticipatory looking, which is taken to indicate expectation/prediction.Footnote 11This is true in both the pre-test and test trials, to which I now turn. In pretest trials, a chi...
Test trials, like pretest trials, are also of two types: competitor-first test trials and chimpanzee-first test trials. These trials are just like the corresponding pretest trials except that, for some, size-distorting containersare used in place of the normal, non-distorting pretest containers. (The purpose of these containers will be made apparen...
As already noted, Lurz and Krachun’s mindreading hypothesis is based on the ARM theory. On this theory, chimpanzees’ ability to attribute action-guiding perceptual states to others depends upon their being able to introspect their own ability to distinguish appearance from reality.Footnote 13 For this reason, Lurz and Krachun’s mindreading hypothes...

Abstract. Povinelli’s Problem is a well-known methodological problem confronting those researching nonhuman primate cognition. In this paper I add a new wrinkle to this problem. The wrinkle...
Apr 19, 2021 · Elizabeth Povinelli’s inheritance was passed down not through blood or soil, but through a framed map of Trentino, Alto Adige, in Italy—the region where her family's ancestral alpine village is located. Far more than a map hanging above the family television, the image featured colors and lines that held in place the memories and values fueling the Povinelli family's fraught relationships ...
