Humans possess an extraordinary capacity for culture, from the arts
and language to science and technology. But how did the human
mind-and the uniquely human ability to devise and transmit
culture-evolve from its roots in animal behavior? Darwin's
Unfinished Symphony presents a captivating new theory of human
cognitive evolution. This compelling and accessible book reveals
how culture is not just the magnificent end product of an
evolutionary process that produced a species unlike all others-it
is also the key driving force behind that process. Kevin Laland
tells the story of the painstaking fieldwork, the key experiments,
the false leads, and the stunning scientific breakthroughs that led
to this new understanding of how culture transformed human
evolution. It is the story of how Darwin's intellectual descendants
picked up where he left off and took up the challenge of providing
a scientific account of the evolution of the human mind.
