Content:
In this text, Kim Sterelny builds on his original account of the evolutionary development and interaction of human culture and cooperation, which he first presented in 'The Evolved Apprentice'. Sterelny sees human evolution not as hinging on a single key innovation, but as emerging from a positive feedback loop caused by smaller divergences from other great apes, including bipedal locomotion, better causal and social reasoning, reproductive cooperation, and changes in diet and foraging style. He advances this argument in 'The Pleistocene Social Contract' with four key claims about cooperation, culture, and their interaction in human evolution, alongside a reading of the archaeological and ethnographical record.
