Abstract: Phillips et al. make a compelling case for a reversal in the current paradigm in ‘Other Minds’ research by considering the representation of other people’s knowledge more basic than the attribution of belief. Unfortunately, they only discuss primates. In this commentary, I argue that the representation of others’ knowledge is an evolutionary ancient trait, first appearing during the Cambrian explosion.
