Abstract

We had big plans two years ago. It was the high noon of the Sci�ences of Origin project funded by the Templeton Foundation and Ian Ramsey Centre at the University of Oxford. The project gathered phi�losophers, archaeologists, biologists, and all aficionados of histori�cal sciences during several events to ponder upon the roots of life, consciousness, and the cosmos. Big questions. So naturally, big ques�tions go hand in hand with big plans. We wanted to end the project with a large, edited volume of papers at the intersection of philoso�phy, cognitive science, and cognitive archaeology. The indifferent cosmoswhose origins we haven’t really understood during the two�year project (and we probably never will but that doesn’t stop us from trying) had other, much smaller, plans. Our dream edited volumes were, alas, published by Routledge in 2022, namely An Introduction to Evolutionary Cognitive Archaeology by Thomas Wynn and Frederick L. Coolidge, and Psychology and Cognitive Archaeology by Tracy Henley and Matt Rossano.
