How Children Invented Humanity: The Role of Development in Human Evolution
Bjorklund, David F. (Professor of Psychology, Professor of Psychology, Florida Atlantic University)
Infants and children are the often-ignored heroes when it comes to understanding human evolution. Evolutionary pressures acted upon the young of our ancestors more powerfully than on adults, and changes over the course of development in our ancestors were primarily responsible for the species and the people we have become. This book takes an evolutionary developmental perspective, emphasizing that developmental plasticity-the ability to change our physical andpsychological selves early in lifeâ€â€is the creative force in evolution.
