Скачать или смотреть Culture is Niche Construction on Steroids

Cognitive scientist John Vervaeke explains the biological concept of 'niche construction' – how organisms shape their environment while being shaped by it. He then vividly describes culture as an accelerated form of niche construction, illustrating how societal norms, like clothing choices, profoundly shape our identity and behavior. Vervaeke connects this biological-cultural co-shaping to the concept of 'relevance realization' and introduces the idea of 'participatory knowing' – a fourth kind of knowing derived from our dynamic coupling with the environment, which provides a fundamental sense of belonging.
