Book summaryThis title takes a far-reaching look at the forces that created modern human intelligence. The author, a noted evolutionary biologist, suggests that the same competitive pressures that shape a new species or an antibody may also evolve primitive passing thoughts into highly refined ideas. Media reviews"Countering Mr. Penrose is not the express purpose of this captivating work (Mr. Calvin rarely even names names), yet this theme resonates throughout 'How Brains Think' nonetheless. And it's a fine rebuttal....an exquisite distillation of his key ideas. He's a member of that rare breed of scientists who can translate the arcana of their fields into lay language and he's one of the best." |
