The Monkey Puzzle: Reshaping the Evolutionary Tree
Gribbin, John
Mcgraw-Hill. PAPERBACK. 0070247390 Good condition, minor wear. Minor shelf wear on edges and corners. Some scuffing. No other major marks or damage. Paperback, 279 pages, Mcgraw-Hill (September 1983). This book proposes an explanation which, right or wrong, is just a splendid idea, a kind of intellectual marvel. The idea is that the brain is an ancient structure. It fully evolved over a period of many, many millions of years. This whole long evolutionary period is remote from us. If the hypothesis of an ancient big brain is accepted, a lot other problems suddenly solve themselves. The sudden, seemingly overnight appearance of the human brain, 2 million years ago, allows almost no time for such an elaborate structure to evolve. The answer: it didn't evolve 2 million years ago. It evolved long before, over a suitably long period of time, and simply re-appeared in man. Popped up fully realized. 100% satisfaction guaranteed. Great customer service and a no problem, EZ return policy. Real people, real service, since 1981. . Good. ( more information)
