Our perception of the brain structure and function as an organ full of secrets and mysteries must change, and it is necessary to consider it as a part of the body that is constantly evolving and developing to maintain homeostasis for the entire human organism. New fossils, imaging methods, molecular genetics, comparative anatomy, evolutionary psychology, cognitive concepts in neuroscience, and neurology have made it possible to address questions of neurological evolution of humans. This book integrates disparate findings from these disciplines in a succinct history by explaining how evolutionary process occurred and changed our "selves", mind and brain structure and function. Key Features Explains complex scientific concepts in neurobiology using lucid prose and maintaining a clear narrative. Provides well documented arguments supported by hundreds of references and citations. Documents a complex history which unfolded over millions of years. Offers new approaches intended to transform ideas, opinions and intellectual foundations of the brain.
