Evolution at the Speed of Thought

Mehr zum Buch

The book presents a novel perspective on the agency-determinism debate by characterizing humans as super-adaptable agents. It argues that through cognitive strategies, humans address evolutionary survival challenges, turning adaptation into a deliberate intellectual exercise. This cognitive super-adaptation not only speeds up the adaptation process but also shifts it from random occurrences to targeted problem-solving, highlighting the unique capacity of Homo sapiens to influence their evolutionary trajectory.
