Zustand: good, fair. Second Printing. 428, illus., glossary, bibliography, index, previous owner's stamp on fr endpaper, DJ worn, soiled, tears (some repaired w/ tape) Some creases to DJ. Long considered one of the most provocative and demanding major works on human sociobiology, this book introduces the concept of gene-culture coevolution. The authors argue compellingly that human nature is neither arbitrary nor predetermined, and identify mechanisms that energize the upward translation from genes to culture. The authors also assess the properties of genetic evolution of mind within emergent cultural patterns. Lumsden and Wilson explore the rich and sophisticated data of developmental psychology and cognitive science in a fashion that, for the first time, aligns these disciplines with human sociobiology. The authors also draw on population genetics, cultural anthropology, and mathematical physics.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is a consequence of the suggestion that a major key to ward understanding cognition in any advanced culture is to be found in the relationships between processing orthographies, lan guage, and thought. In this book, the contributors attempt to take only the first step, namely to ascertain that there are reliable con stancies among the interactions between a given type of writing and specific brain processes. And, among the possible brain processes that could be investigated, only one apparently simple issue is being explored: namely, whether the lateralization of reading and writing to the right in fully phonemic alphabets is the result of formalized but essentially random occurrences, or whether some physiological determinants are at play. The original project was much more complicated. It began with Derrick de Kerckhove's attempt to establish a connection between the rise of the alphabetic culture in Athens and the development of a theatrical tradition in that city from around the end of the 6th century B. c. to the Roman conquest. The underlying assumption, first proposed in a conversation with Marshall McLuhan, was that the Greek alphabet was responsible for a fundamental change in the psychology of the Athenians and that the creation of the great tragedies of Greek theatre was a kind of cultural response to a con dition of deep psychological crisis.

Zustand: Sehr gut. 299 S., Abb. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Insgesamt sehr gut und sauber. - In der Geschichte der Evolution des Menschen gibt es ein »missing link«, über das man nur sehr wenig weiß und das bisher in der wissenschaftlichen Literatur kaum behandelt worden ist: den Geist des frühen Menschen. Wie ist dieser Geist entstanden, und was waren die Ursachen und Bedingungen für sein Entstehen? In diesem spannend geschriebenen Buch führen uns die Naturwissenschaftler Charles J. Lumsden und Edward O. Wilson über die verschlungenen Pfade der Odyssee, die unsere Spezies in den vergangenen zwei Millionen Jahren - vom Homo habilis bis zum heutigen Menschen - zurückgelegt hat. Sie fragen, warum der Mensch als einzige der Millionen Arten, die entstanden und vergangen sind, die letzte steile Wegstrecke bezwingen konnte, die ihn zu einer hochentwickelten Intelligenz und Kultur geführt hat. Ist es ein göttlicher Funke gewesen? Ist der Geist vom Körper unabhängig? Die Autoren behaupten das genaue Gegenteil. Lumsden und Wilson führen das plötzliche Entstehen des menschlichen Geistes auf die Aktivierung eines Mechanismus zurück, der den Naturgesetzen folgt und allein im Menschen zur Wirkung kommt. Dieses »Feuer des Prometheus« - eine Anspielung auf die alte Metapher vom Ursprung des Geistes - ist die »Gen-Kultur-Koevolution«. In diesem dichten Wechselspiel verändern sich Gene und Umwelt gegenseitig und rufen Veränderungen hervor, die den Menschen über die bis dahin bestehenden biologischen Grenzen hinausführen und ihn dennoch, gleichsam wie mit einem elastischen, unzerreißbaren Band, innerhalb des Bereichs der Natur festhalten. Die Verfasser gründen ihre Argumentation in eindrucksvoller Weise auf die umfassenden Erkenntnisse der biologischen- und der Sozialwissenschaften, aber sie präsentieren sie in anschaulicher Form. Mit der These der Soziobiologie, daß die enge und vielfältige Wechselwirkung von Genmaterial und Umwelt den menschlichen Geist hervorbrachte, haben sich die beiden Autoren in Fachwelt und Öffentlichkeit exponiert und viel Aufsehen erregt. - Charles J.
