The thoughtful article by Vaughn Becker and Steven Neuberg (this issue) on Carl Jung’s concepts of a collective unconscious, and of archetypes, is a worthwhile proposal with its basis in evolutionary theory. The idea is of states of mind that can be on the edge of consciousness, shared by people across the world, which come to us in several ways, such as dreams and pressing thoughts based in emotions that we do not always understand. In this commentary, may I propose that recent movements in cognitive science can help carry this idea forward? Three such developments are the instantiation of machine learning in artificial intelligence, evidence and theories of how emotions work, and research on the evolved human capacity for cooperation.

进化中的人类无意识

Vaughn Becker 和 Steven Neuberg（本期）关于 Carl Jung 的集体无意识和原型概念的深思熟虑的文章是一个有价值的建议，其基础是进化论。这个想法是一种可以处于意识边缘的精神状态，为世界各地的人们所共有，它们以多种方式来到我们面前，例如梦想和基于我们并不总是理解的情绪的紧迫想法。在这篇评论中，我是否可以提出认知科学的最新运动可以帮助推进这一想法？三个这样的发展是人工智能中机器学习的实例化、情绪如何运作的证据和理论，以及对进化的人类合作能力的研究。
