- W1258045690 abstract "In response to Everett, our article (Coolidge and Overmann 2012) was not “based in large measure on paleoanthropological data” (Everett 2013b:81); 60% of our 53 references were “relevant experimental findings on numerical cognition” (81). Two of the references cited by Everett—Everett (2013a) and Everett and Madora (2012)—we did not include, indeed due to their recency. While the former remains unavailable, we have reviewed the latter and disagree with Everett’s interpretation of his data. Further, we would share his discomfort that “reconcilability with experimental data is surely a sine qua non of any treatise on the genesis of symbolic thought” (81), were it the case that this description could truly be said to characterize our paper—but it cannot. Finally, we take exception to two of Everett’s claims in particular: first, that we “errantly” (81) assume basic numerical cognition to be uniform in extant Homo sapiens, and second, that we underestimate the degree to which human numerosity is shaped by language. Everett’s questioning of whether basic numerical cognition is uniform across humanity demonstrates the crux of his misunderstanding: The essence of basic numerosity (hereafter referred to simply as numerosity) in humans and in other species is subitization, the ability to rapidly and unambiguously recognize small quantities (up to three or four), and magnitude appreciation, the ability to appreciate quantity differentials above a threshold of just-noticeable differences. Everett fails to demonstrate a lack of uniform numerosity in humans; rather, he himself notes that the Piraha can subitize, and of his six references, three demonstrate subitization in extant Homo sapiens without conventional language for numbers (e.g., Nicaraguan homesigners). Thus, the idea that some humans lack numerosity is dispelled by Everett’s own work and references. Notably, the presence of numerosity in peoples whose languages contain limited numbers is well documented (e.g., Butterworth et al. 2008; Gordon 2004; Pica et al. 2004). Regarding Everett’s second exceptional claim, our purported underestimation of just how much language shapes numerosity in humans, we note that providing such an es-" @default.
