Synopsis

Throughout history, humans have been fascinated by their origins. The evolutionary development of the human brain is of particular interest as our intellectual, emotional and cultural capacities are considered to be unique among animals. This volume compiles the views of a group of scientists from the fields of anthropology, psychology, neuroscience and evolutionary biology. It is hoped that their ideas will act as the basis for a debate based on the most recent scientific data relating to the evolutionary origins of the human brain.
