Hardback. Zustand: Good. Number concepts are a human invention developed and refined over millennia. They allow us to grasp quantities precisely: recent research shows that most specific quantities are not perceived in the absence of a number system. Numbers are not innate or universal; yet without them, the world as we know it would not exist.…

Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. El desconocido y apasionante papel transformador de los números en la humanidad. Al contrario que prácticamente todos los libros que tratan de los números, debidos a matemáticos o construidos desde las perspectivas de estos, LOS NÚMEROS NOS HICIERON COMO SOMOS se mueve en territorios muy diferentes, los propios de disciplinas como la Psicología, la Antropología o la Lingüística. Su autor, el antropólogo CALEB EVERETT, muestra que los números son en realidad una invención con base lingüística característica de nuestra especie. Las cantidades existen en la naturaleza, incluso con regularidad, ya sean los años entre los ciclos de reproducción de las cigarras o los días de un ciclo lunar. Pero los propios números, las encarnaciones simbólicas de estas cantidades regulares, no existen fuera de la creación humana. Y no nacimos con la habilidad de distinguir la mayoría de las cantidades de manera precisa, aunque tenemos capacidades innatas que nos permiten aproximar cantidades y distinguir de manera exacta conjuntos pequeños de elementos. Los números son creaciones humanas como cocinar, las herramientas de piedra o la rueda, y transformaron los entornos en los cuales vivimos y evolucionamos (facilitaron, por ejemplo, el desarrollo de la agricultura y de la escritura). Transformaron, en definitiva, la condición humana. En un mundo sin números, en culturas anuméricas (a diferencia del lenguaje, los números están ausentes en algunas de las civilizaciones del mundo), muchas cuestiones no tienen sentido, no se pueden ni preguntar ni responder. Centrándose en el poder transformador de verbalizar los números, pero examinando, asimismo, el papel de los números escritos, Caleb Everett explora en este innovador libro el alcance de dicha transformación, una de las invenciones clave en el curso de la historia de nuestra especie. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
