THREE PREHISTORIC INVENTIONS THAT SHAPED US - D...

Both Darwin and neo-Darwinist theorists like Stephen Jay Gould were wrong to suppose that human
nature and the human mind arose out of biological and historical sources alone. Three
Prehistoric Inventions That Shaped Us argues that humans are very different from other animals
in certain respects and  because of those respects  some of the most important sources of the
particular sort of human nature we possess at the present moment  and of the special types of
thinking in which we now are able to engage  were cultural ones. To be more specific  it shows
that our present-day human nature was shaped in fundamental ways by at least three intellectual
inventions that some of our prehistoric ancestors made - namely  the inventions of religious
consciousness  of domestication of animals  and of syntactically organized language.
