What Evolution Gets Wrong About the Mind - Dr. Liane Gabora (Part 1), DemystifySci

Описание: Biology explains how life evolves, but the emergence and evolution of culture follows different rules. In this conversation with Dr. Liane Gabora, Today we're looking at why human culture requires a separate evolutionary framework. Dr. Liane Gabora (University of British Columbia) traces how culture emerges through self-organizing minds, not genes, unfolding like a long riff that finds its meaning only while being played. Language, memory, and creativity arise through a sudden inner shift, where symbols begin talking to each other and thought turns inward on itself. What follows is an account of human origins that feels less like machinery and more like confession: culture as a conscious system, restless, cumulative, and unfinished.
