 ==== HYPOTHESIS THREE: DATING THE TRANSITION FROM BICAMERAL MENTALITY TO CONSCIOUSNESS ====
-**Explanation**
+**Theoretical Claim**
 Jaynes dated the birth of consciousness to around the end of the second millennium BCE. Due to the timing of settlement patterns, the transition most likely occurred later in the Americas (North, Mesoamerica, South). To appreciate his reasons for making such a controversial claim, it is imperative to carefully examine the psychohistorical record. Only by investigating the beliefs, customs, and literary traditions of ancient civilizations in a detailed manner are we able to discern a lack of subjectivity as we define it and major changes in mentality. [[https://www.julianjaynes.org/resources/supporting-evidence/ancient-texts/|Much relevant research]] relates to this important facet of Jaynesian theorizing about dating a change in mentality.
