Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Recapitulation Theory and Human Infancy The strong interest in its biological and anthropological setting which attended the beginnings of the systematic study of childhood in this country has somewhat abated. Among other things practical considerations have drawn attention away to urgent matters of institutional management, while newer and more exact methods, borrowed from the nearby sciences, have been enthusiastically resorted to in the hope of a more immediately serviceable knowledge of childhood than any search into its history could reasonably be expected to yield. Doubtless this change of emphasis is a wholesome one. Education has still to find its most advantageous methods, if indeed it has not yet to delimit its field. It is only right, then, that all the methods which have done excellent work in the sciences should be tested and evaluated for their usefulness in its service. It would be a mistake, however, to regard this departure from biology and anthropology as a final one, and to conclude that education has nothing to learn from these sources. Man's animal heritage is too intimate a part of him, and his historical career too significant of his make-up, ever to justify a neglect of these things on the part of those who propose to mould his present condition and in some measure to direct his future. It may be, too, that some sense of disappointment has figured in this willingness of students of childhood to turn in new directions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A volume of one hundred five pages, presenting the arguments pro and con on the Recapitulation or Culture Epoch Theory. If, as the author thinks, the biological interest so far as it relates to the systematic study of childhood "has somewhat abated," this interest would not have decreased had teachers been given the opportunity in such study, furnished by this delightful volume. The introduction is an admirably phrased statement of the problem together with the difficulties in the way of its solution. A genuine service has been rendered by excellent presentation of the excerpts from writings of the leading biologists relative to the facts which are presumed to be at the base of the theory. In addition to the scientific value of the author's work in this direction, he has presented the facts in such form, and with such continuity and with such happiness, that an extremely readable story has been evolved. The chapter on Human Infancy is of great value. The generalizations of John Fiske on the subject have been carefully analyzed and tested, together with the writings of later and more critical authorities, in such a way as to be of very great assistance to anyone wishing to know the thought of the best thinkers on this topic. Dr. Davidson's conclusions are modestly and excellently stated. -Educational Review, Volume 49 [1915]

Download or read book Human Infancy written by Daniel G. Freedman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-07 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1974, this volume is primarily devoted to what is known about human infancy from an ethological, evolutionary viewpoint. Included are discussions of pan-specific traits, presumably shared by all infants; individual genetic variations on these behaviours (as judged by twin-studies); sex differences, presumably shared by infants of all ethnic groups; and genetically based ethnic differences. However, the author favours neither biological determinism nor cultural determinism, and does not consider ‘interactionism’ to be a viable solution. Instead, a monistic position is taken, stressing the inseparability of the innate and the acquired, of genetics and environment, and of biology and culture. The heredity-environment issue is tackled head-on throughout the volume. The interaction between the two (an implied dualism) is described as a statistical abstraction from measured populations, while the position here is that heredity and environment are not separable in any single organism. In the same vein, the author argues that on logical grounds everything one does, every ‘cultural’ act, has within it some biological component.
Download or read book Costly and Cute written by Wenda R. Trevathan and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars have long argued that the developmental state of the human infant at birth is unique. This volume expands that argument, pointing out that many distinctively human characteristics can be traced to the fact that we give birth to infants who are highly dependent on others and who learn how to be human while their brains are experiencing growth unlike that seen in other primates. The contributors to this volume propose that the “helpless infant” has played a role in human evolution equal in importance to those of “man the hunter” and “woman the gatherer.” The authors take a broad look at how human infants are similar to and different from the infants of other species, at how our babies have constrained our evolution over the past six million years, and at how they continue to shape the ways we live today.
Download or read book Evolutionary Perspectives on Infancy written by Sybil L. Hart and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique volume is one of the first of its kind to examine infancy through an evolutionary lens, identifying infancy as a discrete stage during which particular types of adaptations arose as a consequence of certain environmental pressures. Infancy is a crucial time period in psychological development, and evolutionary psychologists are increasingly recognizing that natural selection has operated on all stages of development, not just adulthood. The volume addresses this crucial change in perspective by highlighting research across diverse disciplines including developmental psychology, evolutionary developmental psychology, anthropology, sociology, nutrition, and primatology. Chapters are grouped into four sections: Theoretical Underpinnings Brain and Cognitive Development Social/Emotional Development Life and Death Evolutionary Perspectives on Infancy sheds new light on our understanding of the human brain and the environments responsible for shaping the brain during early stages of development. This book will be of interest to evolutionary psychologists and developmental psychologists, biologists, and anthropologists, as well as scholars more broadly interested in infancy.

Download or read book Early Creationist Journals written by Ronald L. Numbers and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-10-17 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1995, Early Creationist Journals is the ninth volume in the Creationism in Twentieth-Century America series, reissued in 2021. The book is a concise primary source collection containing a selection of journal articles from the early twentieth century outlining discoveries in biology, geology, physiology and archaeology and their relation to Christianity. The aim of the journals was to provide a platform for creationists of the 1920s to voice their theories on new science and how more recent discoveries fit within creationist beliefs, including flood theory. These interesting and unique journals will be of interest to academics working in the field of religion and natural history and provide a unique snapshot into the debates between evolutionists and Christianity during a period of great scientific change.
Download or read book Regression Periods in Human infancy written by Mikael Heimann and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2003-10-17 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regression periods play a central role in the psychological development of the human baby. Studies of infants have identified 10 periods of regression, or a return to a high frequency of mother-infant contact, within the first 20 months of life. These periods of emotional insecurity in the child signal forthcoming periods of developmental advance and the emergence of an array of new skills as a consequence of parent-infant conflict over body contact and the renegotiation of old privileges. Although the basic idea in this book is an old one, the authors believe that regression periods deserve further study and have identified four questions of central importance today: *Can the phenomenon of regression periods as found by Dutch researchers in 1992 be replicated in other countries and cultures? *What environmental conditions have an effect on these regression periods and how? *Are there physical conditions in infants that show a non-linear distribution over age similar to regression periods? *Have brain changes been detected since the review of Fischer & Rose (1994) at other ages than the six reported by them, and, if yes, how do these relate to the ages at which regression periods are found? Forming the core of this book, the replication studies performed in Sweden, Spain, and England provide support that regression periods are a rreliable phenomenon and should be dealt with accordingly whenever developmental processes in infancy are discussed.
