"Tapping the very latest findings in evolutionary biology, neuroscience, and molecular
biology, Rob DeSalle and Ian Tattersall explain how the cognitive gulf that separates
us from all other living creatures could have occurred. They discuss the development
and uniqueness of human consciousness, how human and nonhuman brains work, the roles
of different nerve cells, the importance of memory and language in brain functions,
and much more. Our brains, they conclude, are the product of a lengthy and supremely
untidy history--an evolutionary process of many zigs and zags--that has accidentally
resulted in a splendidly eccentric and creative product." -- Provided by publisher
