Lecture Human development - Family, place, culture - Chapter 1: What is human development?
This chapter sets the scene by looking at the ways that humans started to consider life in terms of its unfolding over time as the journey from infancy to maturity, ignorance to understanding, simplicity to sophistication. This way of looking at the world has a long history in human societies, yet historically the idea that each person develops is a fairly recent idea.
