Résumé

Le développement prolongé du cerveau humain – dénommé altricialité secondaire - est au fondement (i) de l’aptitude naturelle de notre cerveau à devenir une représentation du monde et (ii) d’une focalisation culturelle de cette représentation sous l’influence de la diversité des matrices culturelles, cela pour le meilleur comme pour le pire.
