The book does not explain human uniqueness by positing a critical adaptive breakthrough (episodic memory; advanced theory of mind; planning and causal reasoning; language). Rather, it identifies a series of positive feedback loops between initially minor advances in social tolerance, ecological flexibility, cooperative foraging, social learning, and links the results of these feedback loops to the archaeological and anthropological record.Jean Nicod lectures.Evolutionary psychologyCooperationElectronic books.Evolutionary psychology.Cooperation.155.7Sterelny Kim488531MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457435503321The evolved apprentice1949325UNINA
