By Thomas Suddendorf,Barbara Steckhan,Bernhard Jendricke,Gabriele Gockel
Thomas Suddendorf legt ein Standardwerk vor, das unser Bild von unserem Platz in der Natur verändert. Von der Psychologie und Verhaltensbiologie über die Evolutionsgeschichte bis hin zu den Neurowissenschaften verknüpft er erstmals die jüngsten Erkenntnisse aller relevanten Wissensgebiete. Fesselnd berichtet er, wie er die frühkindliche Entwicklung und das Verhalten von Menschenaffen erforscht. Suddendorf zeigt, dass die Alleinstellung des Menschen dadurch entstand, dass wir andere menschenähnliche und sogar eindeutig menschliche Spezies ausrotteten. Er warnt davor, die Kluft durch die Auslöschung der Menschenaffen noch zu vergrößern. Verblüffend ist, dass offenbar alle einzigartigen Eigenschaften des Menschen auf nur zwei grundlegende Besonderheiten zurückgehen: unsere unbändige Imaginationskraft und das Bedürfnis, unsere Gedanken mit anderen zu teilen.
Ein bahnbrechendes Buch, das »auf seinem Gebiet wohl allein dasteht« (Richard Leakey).
