Zusammenfassung: | "In this book, Kate Distin proposes a theory of cultural evolution and shows how it can help us to understand the origin and development of human culture. Distin introduces the concept that humans share information not only in natural languages, which are spoken or signed, but also in artefactual languages like writing and musical notation, which use media that are made by humans. Languages enable humans to receive and transmit variations in cultural information and resources. In this way, they provide the mechanism for cultural evolution. The human capacity for metarepresentation - thinking about how we think - accelerates cultural evolution, because it frees cultural information from the conceptual limitations of each individual language. Distin shows how the concept of cultural evolution outlined in this book can help us to understand the complexity and diversity of human culture, relating her theory to a range of subjects including economics, linguistics, and developmental biology."--Publisher's description. |

Languages enable humans to receive and transmit variations in cultural information and resources. In this way, they provide the mechanism for cultural evolution. The human capacity for metarepresentation - thinking about how we think - accelerates cultural evolution, because it frees cultural information from the conceptual limitations of each individual language. Distin shows how the concept of cultural evolution outlined in this book can help us to understand the complexity and diversity of human culture, relating her theory to a range of subjects including economics, linguistics, and developmental biology."--Publisher's description.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="546" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">English.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Human evolution.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85062868</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Social evolution.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85123940</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Language and languages</subfield><subfield code="x">Origin.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85074529</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Human beings</subfield><subfield code="x">Origin.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85080301</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Cultural Evolution</subfield><subfield code="0">https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D003468</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Êtres humains</subfield><subfield code="x">Évolution.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Évolution sociale.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Langage et langues</subfield><subfield code="x">Origines.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Êtres humains</subfield><subfield code="x">Origines.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">SOCIAL SCIENCE</subfield><subfield code="x">General.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Human beings</subfield><subfield code="x">Origin</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Human evolution</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Language and languages</subfield><subfield code="x">Origin</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Social evolution</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Soziale Evolution</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Kulturelle Entwicklung</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/4165968-5</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Sprachentwicklung</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/4182511-1</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Electronic books.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Electronic books.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="758" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">has work:</subfield><subfield code="a">Cultural evolution (Text)</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCFwCgcFQckPxYp7BGQbBKd</subfield><subfield code="4">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Distin, Kate, 1970-</subfield><subfield code="t">Cultural evolution.</subfield><subfield code="d">Cambridge [U.K.] ;

"In this book, Kate Distin proposes a theory of cultural evolution and shows how it can help us to understand the origin and development of human culture. Distin introduces the concept that humans share information not only in natural languages, which are spoken or signed, but also in artefactual languages like writing and musical notation, which use media that are made by humans. Languages enable humans to receive and transmit variations in cultural information and resources. In this way, they provide the mechanism for cultural evolution. The human capacity for metarepresentation - thinking about how we think - accelerates cultural evolution, because it frees cultural information from the conceptual limitations of each individual language. Distin shows how the concept of cultural evolution outlined in this book can help us to understand the complexity and diversity of human culture, relating her theory to a range of subjects including economics, linguistics, and developmental biology."--Publisher's description.
