The Pattern Seekers A New Theory of Human Invention

Celebrates human cognitive diversity, and is rich with empathy and psychological insight'' Steven Pinker br>br>''Bold, intriguing, profound'' Jay Elwes, Spectator br>br>Why can humans alone invent? In this book, psychologist and world renowned autism expert Simon Baron-Cohen puts forward a bold new theory: because we can identify patterns, specifically if-and-then patterns. Baron-Cohen argues that the genes for this unique ability overlap with the genes for autism and have driven human progress for 70,000 years. br>br>From the first musical instruments to the agricultural, industrial, and digital revolutions, Pattern Seekers links one of our greatest human strengths with a condition that is so often misunderstood and challenges us to think differently about those who think differently.>
