In cosa siamo diversi dagli altri animali? E come abbiamo evoluto capacità squisitamente umane come il linguaggio e la tecnica? In questa introduzione, si traccia la storia degli approcci evolutivi allo sviluppo del comportamento e della cognizione umana, concentrandosi sul ruolo delle categorie concettuali nelle controversie che hanno animato le psicologie evoluzionistiche dagli albori fino ad oggi. Perché, secondo alcune interpretazioni, siamo animali ultrasociali mentre secondo altre siamo per lo più egoisti mascherati? E perché, per alcune, il linguaggio è il risultato dell’evoluzione culturale, mentre per altre abbiamo ereditato geni specifici per imparare a parlare? Attraverso le scoperte della biologia molecolare, l’etologia e le neuroscienze, vengono discusse le ipotesi più accreditate, ma tutt’altro che conclusive, su come geni e cultura, biologia e apprendimento ci hanno resi quello che siamo nel corso di milioni di anni di storia. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… How are we different from other animals? And how did we evolve exquisitely human abilities such as language and technique? In this introduction, we trace the history of evolutionary approaches to the development of human behavior and cognition, focusing on the role of conceptual categories in the controversies that have animated evolutionary psychologies from the beginning to the present. Why, according to some interpretations, are we ultrasocial animals while according to others are we mostly disguised egoists? And why, for some, is language the result of cultural evolution, while for others we have inherited specific genes to learn to speak? Through the discoveries of molecular biology, ethology and neuroscience, the most accredited, but far from conclusive, hypotheses are discussed on how genes and culture, biology and learning have made us who we are over millions of years of history.]
