520 |a This essay discusses Cecilia Heyes' groundbreaking new book Cognitive Gadgets: The Cultural Evolution of Thinking. Heyes' point of departure is the claim that current theories of cultural evolution fail adequately to make a place for the mind. Heyes articulates a cognitive psychology of cultural evolution by explaining how eponymous "cognitive gadgets," such as imitation, mindreading and language, mental technologies, are "tuned" and "assembled" through social interaction and cultural learning. After recapitulating her explanations for the cultural and psychological origins of these gadgets, we turn to criticisms. Among those, we find Heyes' use of evolutionary theory confusing on several points of importance; alternative theories of cultural evolution, especially those of the Tomasello group and of Boyd, Richerson and Henrich, are misrepresented; the book neglects joint attention and other forms of intersubjectivity in its explanation of the origins of cognitive gadgets; and, whereas Heyes accuses other theories of being "mindblind," we find her theory ironically other-blind and autistic in character.
