The Ape that Understood the Universe: How the Mind and Culture Evolve Audiobook (Free)

The Ape that Understood the Universe is the story from the strangest animal in the world: the human animal. It starts having a question: How would an alien scientist view our types? What would it label of our sex distinctions, our intimate behavior, our child-rearing patterns, our moral rules, our religions, dialects, and science? The reserve tackles these issues by sketching on ideas from two main schools of believed: evolutionary psychology and social evolutionary theory. The guiding assumption is certainly that humans are animals, which like all pets, we advanced to spread our genes. At some point, nevertheless, we also progressed the capacity for tradition – and from that minute, culture began growing in its own right. This transformed us from only ape into an ape with the capacity of reshaping the planet, travelling to other worlds, and understanding the vast universe of which we’re but a little, fleeting fragment.
