The Evolution of Human Cleverness presents a unique introduction to the way human cognitive abilities have evolved. Chiefly, these are adaptation and selection, the distinction between ultimate and proximate causes of behaviour, gene-culture co-evolution, and domain-general versus domain-specific cognitive processes. The book comprises a series of mini-essays on distinct topics in which technical terms are simplified, considering how humans made the long journey from our ape-like ancestors to become capable of higher-level reasoning and problem solving.All the topics are cross-linked, allowing the reader to dip in and out, but certain key concepts run through the underlying reasoning.
The book should help the reader draw lessons for the human species as a whole, especially in view of the environmental threats to its own existence.Entries
