The cultural origins of human cognition
Book • 1999
In *The Cultural Origins of Human Cognition*, Michael Tomasello bridges evolutionary theory and cultural psychology to explain the distinct cognitive abilities of humans.
He argues that human cognition is rooted in capacities for shared attention, understanding intentions, and imitative learning, which drive cultural evolution and distinguish humans from other primates.
The book provides a comprehensive analysis of how these cognitive capacities develop and shape human culture over time.
