Prosthetic gestures: How the tool shapes the mind
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 35 (4):230-231 (2012)
Abstract
I agree with Vaesen that it is a mistake to discard tool use as a hallmark of human cognition. I contend, nonetheless, that tools are not simply external markers of a distinctive human mental architecture. Rather, they actively and meaningfully participate in the process by which hominin brains and bodies make up their sapient mindsAuthor's Profile
