Sinossi
We are just beginning to understand how a child's mind develops and learns - and how this can shed fascinating new light on our understanding of psychology and the mind. Tying in a broad range of subjects from anthropology, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology, to linguistics and philosophy, this "Very Short Introduction" looks at questions such as how the human mind evolved, what new born babies already know, and how children learn to make sense of the social world. Richard Griffin uses the latest scientific research to show how the study of child development is not only the key to understanding children, but also the key to understanding ourselves.
