Summary: Groundbreaking work, today more relevant than ever.
Comment: This is a concise statement of the interaction of three parallel lines or planes of development: phylogenetic, ontogenetic, and cultural. Necessary reading, together with other works of Vygotsky, for anyone interested in cognitive tools, extended cognition, development of intelligence, or the role of language in social action and cognition. Contains an extensive discussion on anthropoid chimpanzees (based on Köhler, 1912-20), tools that augment cognition, and cultural development of memory and thinking. Two chapters written by Vygotsky, one by Luria.

"The behavior of contemporary civilized man is the product not only of biological evolution or childhood development. In the process of man's historical development, external relations between people, and relations between mankind and nature are not all that has changed and developed. Man himself has changed and developed; human nature has changed." (p. 41)

"Just as in the process of man's historical deve! ! lopment, man changes not his natural organs, but his tools, so also in the process of his psychological development man has enhanced the workings of his intellect through the development of special technical 'auxiliaries' of thinking and behavior." (p. xiii)
