PDF-(BOOS)-The Omnivorous Mind: Our Evolving Relationship with Food

In this gustatory tour of human history John S Allen demonstrates that the everyday activity of eating offers deep insights into human beings biological and cultural heritageWe humans eat a wide array of plants and animals but unlike other omnivores we eat with our minds as much as our stomachs This thoughtful relationship with food is part of what makes us a unique species and makes culinary cultures diverse Not even our closest primate relatives think about food in the way Homo sapiens does We are superomnivores whose palates reflect the natural history of our speciesDrawing on the work of food historians and chefs anthropologists and neuroscientists Allen starts out with the diets of our earliest ancestors explores cookings role in our evolving brain and moves on to the preoccupations of contemporary foodies The Omnivorous Mind delivers insights into food aversions and cravings our compulsive need to label foods as good or bad dietary deviation from healthy food pyramids and crosscultural attitudes toward eating with the French bien sûr exemplifying the pursuit of gastronomic pleasureTo explain for example the worldwide popularity of crispy foods Allen considers first the food habits of our insecteating relatives He also suggests that the sound of crunch may stave off dietary boredom by adding variety to sensory experience Or perhaps fried foods which we think of as bad for us interject a frisson of illicit pleasure When it comes to eating Allen shows theres no one way to account for tasteDescription taken from publishers web site.

The next great revolution in science will undoubtedly be the emergence of a useful theory of consciousness--a theory based on our better understanding of molecules and brains and of the nature of science itself. Evolving the Mind broaches both of these themes, covering how ideas about the mind evolved in science and how the mind itself evolved in Nature. What Cairns-Smith does that is particularly compelling is to synthesize the contributions of a wide range of scientific disciplines (physics, molecular biology, brain science, and evolution) to bring science to the brink of a unified theory of consciousness. The author thoroughly explores this complex concept in a straightforward, conversational style. Few readers will be able to resist the exciting conclusion that we are closing in on a scientific theory of consciousness. When Evolving Brains was first published, the scientific community responded with an immediate chorus of praise for the book\'s innovative theories about how the human brain evolved from simple organisms that lived nearly a billion years ago.Now available in paperback, Evolving Brains introduces readers to some of the most exciting developments in science in recent years. Drawing on a wealth of new findings in molecular genetics and paleontology, Evolving Brains reveals many of the underlying physiological mechanisms that have influenced the formation of our brains. For example, it\'s no accident that the brain is located near the entrance to the gut because one of the most basic functions of a brain is finding good things to eat and rejecting toxins.Zooming from the microworld of genes to the macroworld of evolution and behavior, Evolving Brains shows how large brains developed as a buffer against the perilous hazards of an ever-shifting environment, and how the evolution of large brains depended crucially on the formation of the extended family. The rise of the family and its need for communication in turn led to the development of language.One of the clearest maps yet of the brain\'s long and eventful journey though time, Evolving Brains reveals a more complete picture of who we are and where we come from.
