Societal inferences from the physical world
Moffett points to humans' use of physical markers to signal group identity as crucial to human society. We characterize the developmental and cognitive bases of this capacity, arguing that it is part of an early-emerging, intuitive <i>socio-physical interface</i> which allows the inanimate world to encode rich social meaning about individuals' identities, and the values of the society as a whole.
