This book, which presents a cognitive-semiotic theory of cultural
evolution, including that taking place in historical time, analyses
various cognitive-semiotic artefacts and abilities. It claims that
what makes human beings human is fundamentally the semiotic and
cultural skills by means of which they endow their Lifeworld with
meaning. The properties that have made human beings special among
animals living in the terrestrial biosphere do not derive entirely
from their biological-genetic evolution, but also stem from their
interaction with the environment, in its culturally interpreted
form, the Lifeworld. This, in turn, becomes possible thanks to the
human ability to learn from other thinking beings, and to transfer
experiences, knowledge, meaning, and perspectives to new
generations.
