Overview
This event is a symposium titled "The Intersection of Basic Psychology and Human History Studies." Basic psychology has developed through various points of contact with many adjacent fields, including integration and collaboration with informatics and neuroscience. Furthermore, in recent years, research developments focusing on various points—in conjunction with human history studies such as archaeology, anthropology, and evolutionary research—are gaining global recognition. These include the process by which humans acquired the "kokoro" (mind/heart), the dynamics through which individuals have formed societies and cultures, and the processes of creating religious beliefs, artifacts, and structures. In this symposium, based on presentations by three speakers, we aim to explore the intersection of basic psychology and human history studies (such as archaeology and anthropology). We hope to foster a shared understanding of issues, generate new insights, and discuss future collaborative developments.
