Is the universe around us a figment of our imagination? Or are our
minds figments of reality?
In this refreshing new look at the evolution of mind and culture,
bestselling authors Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen eloquently argue that
our minds necessarily evolved in an inextricable link with culture and
language. They go beyond conventional reductionist ideas to look at
how the mind is the response of an evolving brain trying to grapple
with a complex environment. Along the way they develop new and
intriguing insights into the nature of evolution, science and
humanity.
