S. Minsos, PhD

​

​​

Minsos' philosophy of socialzation and culture picks up where Noam Chomsky's theory of linguistics leaves off. That is to say, a child's limited experience with socialization cannot explain the child's growing proficiency at socializing. Something innate is helping. Evolution reigns supreme, selection is opportunistically adaptive, and children are born competitive. Children have innate capacity to play the herding game, Weird Tit-for-Tat, (and not just human children). 

​

"If you have spent any time wondering about human nature and our need to form and belong to groups, this book is for you. Minsos offers a new twist on group dynamics, ranging from the smallest unit of the family to the local community and outward, incorporating the larger multicultural world. Dr. Minsos is confident, feisty, and has a sharp wit as she offers a well substantiated perspective on our game playing."
