  • Quello di cui la natura non ha bisogno

    Linguaggio, mente ed evoluzione

    de Derek Bickerton ...
    Noto per aver formulato, in parallelo a Darwin, una teoria evoluzionistica «per selezione naturale», Alfred Wallace ne coglieva fin dall’inizio uno dei limiti principali: l’incapacità di spiegare perché la nostra specie abbia acquisito una mente «di gran lunga più potente» rispetto alle necessità adattative. Domanda ingombrante, a cui lo stesso Darwin tentava di rispondere ipotizzando che quella ... Leer más

  • More than Nature Needs

    Language, Mind, and Evolution

    de Derek Bickerton ...
    The human mind is an unlikely evolutionary adaptation. How did humans acquire cognitive capacities far more powerful than anything a hunting-and-gathering primate needed to survive?

Darwin thought use of language might have shaped our sophisticated brains, but his ... Leer más

    How Humans Made Language, How Language Made Humans

  • Language and Human Behavior

    de Derek Bickerton ...
    Series series Jessie and John Danz Lectures
    “What this book proposes to do,” writes Derek Bickerton, “is to stand the conventional wisdom of the behavioral sciences on its head: instead of the human species growing clever enough to invent language, it will view that species as blundering into language and, as a direct result of that, becoming clever.” According to Bickerton, the behavioral sciences have failed to give an adequate account of ...

  • A Primer on Natural Signs

    A Course on The Human Niche, #1

    de Razie Mah ...
    Series Libro 1 - A Course on The Human Niche
    In the late 1800s, Charles S. Peirce defines natural signs as icons, indexes and symbols. The difference among them reflects the three categories of firstness, secondness and thirdness (the realms of possibility, actuality and normal context). In the early 1900s, Ferdinand de Sausure discovers an important feature of symbols. They constitute systems of differences. Peirce would have called them: ... Leer más

The second is the evolution of church architecture in the West.These powerful metaphors do not explain human evolution. They re ... Leer más
