We have come a long way. The earliest human had a brain as small as a child's fist, whereas ours are four times larger, with amazing skills and untapped potential that we are only now beginning to comprehend.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is How the Mind Changed, a seven-million-year journey through our own heads, packed with vivid stories, groundbreaking science, and thrilling surprises. Discover how memory has almost nothing to do with the past; meditation rewires our synapses; magic mushroom use might be responsible for our intelligence; climate accounts for linguistic diversity; and how autism teaches us hugely positive lessons about our past and future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr Joseph Jebelli's In Pursuit of Memory was shortlisted for the Royal Society Science Book Prize and longlisted for the Wellcome. In this, his eagerly awaited second book, he draws on deep insights from neuroscience, evolutionary biology, psychology, and philosophy to guide us through the unexpected changes that shaped our brains. From genetic accidents and environmental forces to historical and cultural advances, he explores how our brain's evolution turned us into Homo sapiens and beyond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA single mutation is all it takes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 524g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 164 x 241 x 31 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781529300130\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joseph Jebelli","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44097525842170,"sku":"9781529300130","price":14.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1657284168996_book.jpg?v=1657401802","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/how-the-mind-changed-a-human-history-of-our-evolving-brain-9781529300130","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
