PDF-(EBOOK)-The Descent of the Child: Human Evolution From a New Perspective

Why are chimp babies skinny while human babies are so fat they float As humans developed greater intelligenceand increased cranial capacityhow did babies and mothers adapt to increased fetal brain size And how did humans develop our unique intelligence Elaine Morgan an internationallybestselling science writer known for her iconoclastic take on evolutionary theory addresses these questions and more in The Descent of the Child an intriguing and controversial look at human evolution from the point of view of infant development Beginning with the assertion that much of our thinking about human evolution exercises an unconscious biasthat we envision an archetypal human being as an adultMorgan sets out to explain why human infants evolved in the way they did We are often told how in the course of a million years adults acquired increased dexterity adaptability intelligence and powers of communication We are seldom reminded that over the same period infants became more helpless more vulnerable and more inert Morgan focuses on the relationship between these two facts as she develops a stunning theoryof the origins of human intelligence she argues that our capacity for intelligence is a byproduct of evolving babyhood Uniquely among primates homo sapiens are born with considerable struggle emerge wholly helpless and continue to be dependent for a long time afterwardsonly their eyes faces and vocal cords work They dont know that theyre not always going to be like that Morgan posits but bent on survival they try to manipulate their parents or other caregivers to do things that the babies cant do for themselves For instance theyll cry for food and only human babiescontinue crying after being picked up sending a strong message not to be so remiss next time These early struggles according to Morgan provide our formative intellectual activity It is in infancy that we really learn to think and to question In her much debated earlier works Morgan has championed the controversial Aquatic Ape Theory of human evolution against the widely accepted Savannah Theory The Descent of the Child takes her further into the fray with a provocative new argument adding new evidence to support AAT even as sheexplores such urgent topics as conception and infertility the maturation of the fetus child rearing and parental roles overpopulation and a womans place in society This fascinating book should be read by parents both new and soon to be as well as anyone interested in child development orhuman evolutio.
