The original version of the paper contained a number of spelling mistakes.
The original sentence read: “This refers to the specification of the input problem (building a solution for cutting meat) and the ways in which it constrains the possible outcomes by creating an adaptive target (useful meat cutting solutions need to induce a certain level of sheer stress).”
The amended sentence reads: “This refers to the specification of the input problem (building a solution for cutting meat) and the ways in which it constrains the possible outcomes by creating an adaptive target (useful meat cutting solutions need to induce a certain level of shear stress).”
The original sentence read: “Crucially, this reflects the intergenerational transfer of cultural information, as inherited solutions also undero transmission from parent-to-child, which additionally means these solutions are subject to simplicity constraints during reconstruction (see section 2.3.4).”
The amended sentence reads: “Crucially, this reflects the intergenerational transfer of cultural information, as inherited solutions also undergo transmission from parent-to-child, which additionally means these solutions are subject to simplicity constraints during reconstruction (see section Social transmission mechanisms).”
This has been amended to the following online and in the PDF version.
