A natural history of human thinking is the most detailed scientific analysis to date of the connection between human sociality and cognitionoxfam bookshop preston tool-making or culture, language or religious belief: ever since darwin, thinkers have struggled to identify what fundamentally differentiates human beings from other animalstomasello argues that our prehuman ancestors, like today's great apes, were social beings who could solve problems by thinkingeven language and culture arose from the preexisting need to work togetherbut they were almost entirely competitive, aiming only at their individual goalswhat differentiates us most from other great apes, tomasello proposes, are the new forms of thinking engendered by our new forms of collaborative and communicative interactionsee oxfam website for delivery information read moretomasello's "shared intentionality hypothesis" captures how these more socially complex forms of life led to more conceptually complex forms of thinkingin order to survive, humans had to learn to see the world from multiple social perspectives, to draw socially recursive inferences, and to monitor their own thinking via the normative standards of the groupin this much-anticipated book, michael tomasello weaves his twenty years of comparative studies of humans and great apes into a compelling argument that cooperative social interaction is the key to our cognitive uniquenessonce our ancestors learned to put their heads together with others to pursue shared goals, humankind was on an evolutionary path all its ownas ecological changes forced them into more cooperative living arrangements, early humans had to coordinate their actions and communicate their thoughts with collaborative partners
