This book discusses the evolutionary conditions leading to the emergence of key skills such as cultural learning, pre-linguistic communication, speech and its acquisition, Theory of Mind, autobiographical memory and access to literacy and numeracy. The contributions present the current position of interdisciplinary debate on development, both of individual humans and of humanity as a whole.
