How History Made the Mind: The Cultural Origins of Objective Thinking
David Martel Johnson
This work argues that what we now think of as "reason" or "objective thinking" is not a natural product of the existence of an enlarged brain. Rather, it is a way of learning to use the brain that runs counter to the natural characteristics involved in being an animal, a mammal and a primate.
