In the childhood of every human being, and at the dawn of human history, there is an amazing - and until now unexplained - leap from simple, genetically programmed behavior to symbolic thinking, language, and culture. In The First Idea, Stanley Greenspan and Stuart Shanker explore this missing link and offer new insights into two longstanding questions: how human beings first created symbols and how these abilities initially evolved and were subsequently transmitted and transformed across generations over millions of years." "Drawing on evidence - not only from their research and collaborations comparing the language and intelligence of human infants and apes, but also from the fossil record, neuroscience, and Greenspan's extensive work with children with autism - Greenspan and Shanker offer a radical new direction for evolutionary theory, developmental psychology, and philosophy.

« Fruits de l'évolution et de la sélection naturelle, nous avons gardé certains comportements et modes de pensée anciens, remontant à la préhistoire. Ils induisent des biais cognitifs qui peuvent encore avoir leur utilité - il vaut mieux prendre un bâton tordu pour un serpent que l'inverse -, mais ils viennent aussi fausser nos décisions quotidiennes, ou nous conduire à attribuer aux autres des pensées qu'ils n'ont pas. Les capacités cognitives de l'homme de Cro-Magnon, qui lui ont permis de constituer de grands groupes sociaux, nous ont menés à perfectionner nos capacités de coopération ... mais aussi de dissimulation et de tromperie.

Appréhender les biais de notre psychologie est sans doute un atout pour se connaître et comprendre les autres. »-- 4ème de couverture.

During the last 15 years, human sociobiology has metamorphosed into evolutionary psychology. It is concerned with the social problems and stresses hominid and primate ancestors encountered, the psychological mechanisms natural selection shaped to deal with these stresses, and the way those ancient mechanisms work now. Evolutionary psychologists are making great progress in expanding the understanding of human nature, however, this knowledge has had little impact on policymakers and legislators. Supreme Court justices and managers seldom consult evolutionary psychologists to help with their del
