Humanity has precipitated a planetary crisis of resource
consumption-a crisis of stuff. So ingrained is our stuff-centric
view that we can barely imagine a way out beyond substituting a new
portmanteau of material things for the one we have today. In The
Human Scaffold, anthropologist Josh Berson offers a new theory of
adaptation to environmental change. Drawing on niche construction,
evolutionary game theory, and the enactive view of cognition,
Berson considers cases in the archaeology of adaptation in which
technology in the conventional sense was virtually absent. Far from
representing anomalies, these cases exemplify an enduring feature
of human behavior that has implications for our own fate. The time
has come to ask what the environmental crisis demands of us not as
consumers but as biological beings. The Human Scaffold offers a
starting point.
