Abstract:
Coombs and Trestman provide an integrative, embodied framework for the evolution of complex cognition. However, they overlook the critical role of ecological and environmental contexts in such evolution. Our commentary highlights its anthropocentric biases and emphasizes the need for species-specific approaches that account for diverse sensory modalities, ecologies, and social environments while prioritizing organism-specific challenges and ecological niches.
