초록
우리는 모방하는 동물이다. ‘참된 모방(true imitation)’은 한 행위가 행해진 것을 보는 것으로부터 그 행위를 하는 법을 새롭게 배우는 것이라고 할 수 있다. 우리는 타 개체의 기술과 지식을 모방함으로써 다른 동물의 세계에서 찾아보기 힘든 문화와 문명을 이룩할 수 있었다. 이런 의미에서 모방 능력이 어떻게 진화하고 발달하는지를 묻는 것은 중요하다. 또한 인간이 아닌 다른 동물들이 참된 모방을 할 수 있는지, 그리고 모방 학습 측면에서 인간과 동물이 구체적으로 어떻게 다른지를 알아보는 작업도 매우 흥미로운 과제이다. 이 논문에서 나는 우선, 인간과 다른 동물들의 모방 능력에 대한 경험적 연구들을 검토해볼 것이다. 이런 비교 연구를 통해 동물과 인간의 모방 능력의 차이에 주목할 것이며, 그들에게서 보이는 복제 충실도의 차이가 왜 발생하는지에 대해 논의할 것이다. 그런 다음에 모방의 신경생물학적 메커니즘에 대한 최신 연구들을 검토할 것이다. 하전두회(inferior Frontal Gyrus, IFG)와 하두정엽(inferior Parietal Lobule, IPL)으로 구성된 인간의 거울 뉴런계(mirror neuron system)가 이 대목에서 가장 중요하게 등장한다. 거울 뉴런계는 타 개체의 행동을 이해하고 공감하고 따라하는 데에 필수적인 신경세포 다발이다. 나는 거울 뉴런계의 기능과 진화에 대한 최신 연구들을 소개할 것이다. 인간의 모방을 가능하게 하는 신경 메커니즘에 대한 연구는 처음에 거울 뉴런계와 후부상측두이랑(posterior Superior Temporal Sulcus, pSTS)로 구성된 ‘핵심 모방 회로’에 집중되어 있었다. 하지만 더 최신의 연구들은 핵심 모방 회로 밖에서도 모방의 신경 메커니즘이 작동한다는 사실을 말해준다. 마지막으로 나는 이러한 모방의 심리학과 생물학이 문화 진화에 어떤 함의를 지니는지를 탐구한다. 구체적으로 나는 밈과 거울뉴런계의 관계를 탐구한 최신 연구를 통해 문화 진화에 대한 밈학적 접근을 시도할 것이다.
Abstract
We are imitating animals. True imitation can be defined as a learning to do an act from seeing it done by others. We have been building culture by imitating others’ skills and knowledge with high fidelity. In this regard, it is important to ask how the faculty of imitation has evolved and how imitation behaviors develop ontogenetically. It is also interesting to see whether nonhuman animals can imitate truly or not and how different imitation learning is among human and non-human animals. In this paper, first I review empirical data from imitation studies with human and nonhuman animals. Comparing different species, I highlight their different levels of copying fidelity and explain the reason why they are showing the difference. Then I review recent studies on neurobiological mechanisms underlying imitation. The initial neurobiological studies on imitation in humans suggested a core imitation circuitry composed of mirror neuron system [inferior parietal lobule(IPL) and inferior frontal gyrus(IFG)] and the posterior part of the superior temporal sulcus(pSTS). More recent studies on the neurobiology of imitation, however, has gone beyond the studies on the core mechanisms. Finally, I try to find out implications of psychology and biology of imitation for cultural evolution. I argue for a memetic approach to cultural evolution, along the lines with a recent study on measuring memes by mirror neurons system.
