Tomasello argues that our prehuman ancestors, like today's great apes, were social beings who could solve problems by thinkinga natural history of human thinking is the most detailed scientific analysis to date of the connection between human sociality and cognitionwhat differentiates us most from other great apes, tomasello proposes, are the new forms of thinking engendered by our new forms of collaborative and communicative interactionin 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 uniquenessas ecological changes forced them into more cooperative living arrangements, early humans had to coordinate their actions and communicate their thoughts with collaborative partnersonce our ancestors learned to put their heads together with others to pursue shared goals, humankind was on an evolutionary path all its ownbut they were almost entirely competitive, aiming only at their individual goalssee oxfam website for delivery information read moreoxfam 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 animalsin 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 groupeven language and culture arose from the preexisting need to work togethertomasello's "shared intentionality hypothesis" captures how these more socially complex forms of life led to more conceptually complex forms of thinking
