Abstract

Introduction: The horizon of our topic, relates human evolution and educational action. Hypothesis: Education is a practically absent term in paleoanthropology writings. Nonetheless, today there are research programs where culture acquire the category of engine of human evolution. The term culture hides that mediation and intersubjective cooperation -both of which conform teaching- are the main mechanisms of cumulative culture. This characterised the genus Homo, within which Homo sapiens evolved; that cultural cooperation is precisely the social engine of the educational process. Procedure: we will use paleoanthropology discoveries for the reasoning and we will join the most recent points of view, proposing education as a name for identification of the fundamental cultural processes.
