Claudio Tennie

Claudio Tennie (born 1976) is a German evolutionary anthropologist and primatologist, whose main interest is the origin of human cultural evolution. In 2009 Tennie and collegues proposed the Zone of Latent Solution (ZLS) theory, that proposed the main conditions for the evolution of human cumulative culture and seeks to explain differences observed between contemporary human and most animal cultures. As the main focus of Tennie's research is the evolution of special types of culture within the human lineage, his experimental and theoretical studies intersect multiple research fields, including biology, psychology, archaeology and philosophy, with special emphasis on behavioural biology, comparative and developmental psychology, cognitive archaeology of early stone tools, and philosophy of science.
