PDF-(EBOOK)-The Symbolic Species: The Co-evolution of Language and the Brain

This revolutionary book provides fresh answers to longstanding questions of human origins and consciousness Drawing on his breakthrough research in comparative neuroscience Terrence Deacon offers a wealth of insights into the significance of symbolic thinking from the coevolutionary exchange between language and brains over two million years of hominid evolution to the ethical repercussions that followed mans newfound access to other peoples thoughts and emotionsInforming these insights is a new understanding of how Darwinian processes underlie the brains development and function as well as its evolution In contrast to much contemporary neuroscience that treats the brain as no more or less than a computer Deacon provides a new clarity of vision into the mechanism of mind It injects a renewed sense of adventure into the experience of being human.
