À propos de ce titre

A radical reconsideration of how we develop the qualities that make us human, based on decades of cutting-edge experimental work by the former director of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology.

Virtually all theories of how humans have become such a distinctive species focus on evolution. Here, Michael Tomasello proposes a complementary theory of human uniqueness, focused on development. Building on the seminal ideas of Vygotsky, his data-driven model explains how those things that make us most human are constructed during the first years of a child's life.

Tomasello assembles nearly three decades of experimental work with chimpanzees, bonobos, and human children to propose a new framework for psychological growth between birth and seven years of age. He identifies eight pathways that starkly differentiate humans from their closest primate relatives: social cognition, communication, cultural learning, cooperative thinking, collaboration, prosociality, social norms, and moral identity.

Becoming Human places human sociocultural activity within the framework of modern evolutionary theory and shows how biology creates the conditions under which culture does its work.

Avis de la critique

“Theoretically daring, experimentally ingenious, and astonishingly generative.” (Susan Gelman, University of Michigan)

The narration is horrible. One really percieves that the narrator doesnt pay attention to what he is saying. There is no rhythm or intonation at all. This makes it quite tedious to listen to. Thats a shame, because the book is actually great.

Horrible Narrator

This book was truly enjoyable. I was never bored at any point, and throughout, it provided good entertainment, it was also informative, and it is definitely worth a recommendation. One note: the authors describes in relative detail many behavioral experiments that could be difficult to understand for a non-expert at times (although the book is excellently written to make it accessible for non-experts). However, to better understand these experiments with chimpanzees or human children, I found it helpful to look for video material of these experiments (e.g., to see what the chimpanzees do relative to human children in some situations like cooperative play, etc.), which is quite easy as many of the mentioned experiments are available on YouTube, including lectures and broadcasts. Overall, highly recommended!

a truly enjoyable book!

The principal concept of shared intentionality was new to me, revealing the hypersociality of humans through comparative experiments with children and great apes (a characteristic that is mitigated by a struggle for resources). Notice that the style is rather scientific, so I would recommend it for listeners with a background in sociology, psychology and related fields.

Shared intentionality

Too little modulation in reading, read too fast and with too little pauses. I might prefer to read this book rather than to listen to it as information density is quite high

Great content
