Cognitive Gadgets

Discover how human minds evolved to become so unique and different from other animals in this thought-provoking book. Cognitive Gadgets explores the idea that humans have special cognitive instincts that are constructed during childhood through social interaction rather than being programmed in genes. These cognitive gadgets are products of cultural evolution and they enable us to learn and think like no other species. From birth, our malleable minds can be shaped by culture to think and understand the physical world, read the minds of others, and imagine the future. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in the social sciences.
