But one thing they can't do is say "see you tomorrow." That's not just because they don't speak English, but because they are unable to imagine reencountering another ape in the future. Humans, of course, can. As Thomas Suddendorf, Jon Redshaw, and Adam Bulley reveal, that represents a truly earth-shattering capacity. In The Invention of Tomorrow, the three cognitive scientists argue that humanity's unique capacity for foresight is the key to our global dominance. Our minds work like time machines, they explain, allowing us to relive past events in order to predict possible futures. Drawing on cutting-edge research from the last decade - including much of the authors' own work - Suddendorf, Redshaw, and Bulley break down the science of foresight, showing us how this fundamental tool evolved and what makes it unique among animal minds. Foresight powers what are essentially private mental time machines that power our species' capacity for innovation, communication, and moral responsibility. Ultimately, the authors offer us a new vision of human progress, one that foregrounds our capacity to think ahead. Even though we sometimes get it wrong, they argue, human beings are better able to handle future dangers than any creature that has ever existed. The Invention of Tomorrow is a paradigm-shifting exploration of one of humanity's greatest powers, showing how an apparently banal trait has been the key to human ingenuity and culture"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Expectation (Psychology) 650 0 $a Cognition. 650 0 $a Forecasting $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Time perception. 650 7 $a PSYCHOLOGY / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Cognition. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00866457 650 7 $a Expectation (Psychology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00918330 650 7 $a Forecasting $x Psychological aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00931732 650 7 $a Time perception. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01151148 700 1 $a Redshaw, Jonathan, $e author. 700 1 $a Bulley, Adam, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20221005010717.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=19C6AC54447311EDBB956A3F21ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
