Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A Radical Reconsideration Of How We Develop The Qualities That Make Us Human, Based On Decades Of Cuttingedge Experimental Work By The Former Director Of The Max Planck Institute For Evolutionary Anthropology.Virtually All Theories Of How Humans Have Become Such A Distinctive Species Focus On Evolution. Here, Michael Tomasello Proposes A Complementary Theory Of Human Uniqueness, Focused On Development. Building On The Seminal Ideas Of Vygotsky, His Datadriven Model Explains How Those Things That Make Us Most Human Are Constructed During The First Years Of A Childs Life.Tomasello Assembles Nearly Three Decades Of Experimental Work With Chimpanzees, Bonobos, And Human Children To Propose A New Framework For Psychological Growth Between Birth And Seven Years Of Age. He Identifies Eight Pathways That Starkly Differentiate Humans From Their Closest Primate Relatives: Social Cognition, Communication, Cultural Learning, Cooperative Thinking, Collaboration, Prosociality, Social Norms, And Moral Identity. In Each Of These, Great Apes Possess Rudimentary Abilities. But Then, Tomasello Argues, The Maturation Of Humans Evolved Capacities For Shared Intentionality Transform These Abilitiesthrough The New Forms Of Sociocultural Interaction They Enableinto Uniquely Human Cognition And Sociality. The First Step Occurs Around Nine Months, With The Emergence Of Joint Intentionality, Exercised Mostly With Caregiving Adults. The Second Step Occurs Around Three Years, With The Emergence Of Collective Intentionality Involving Both Authoritative Adults, Who Convey Cultural Knowledge, And Coequal Peers, Who Elicit Collaboration And Communication. Finally, By Age Six Or Seven, Children Become Responsible For Selfregulating Their Beliefs And Actions So That They Comport With Cultural Norms.Becoming Human Places Human Sociocultural Activity Within The Framework Of Modern Evolutionary Theory, And Shows How Biology Creates The Conditions Under Which Culture Does Its Work.
