Mills made of grist, and other interesting ideas in need of clarification
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 42 (2019)
Abstract
Heyes’ book is an important contribution that rightly integrates cognitive development and cultural evolution. However, understanding the cultural evolution of cognitive gadgets requires a deeper appreciation of complexity, feedback, and self-organization than her book exhibits.My notes
