Antonio Damasio elucidates that we, as humans, are biologically, psychologically, and even socially rooted in a long lineage that traces back to single living cells. He further reveals that our minds and cultures are interconnected by an invisible thread to the ways and means of ancient unicellular existence and other primitive life-forms. Moreover, he emphasizes that our very chemistry contains a powerful force—a relentless pursuit of life maintenance—that governs life in all its forms, including the development of genes that aid in regulating and transmitting life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis remarkable work spans the biological and social sciences, providing a fresh perspective on the origins of life, emotions, and culture. It challenges our preconceived notions and offers a new understanding of the complex interplay between our biology, psychology, and societal structures. Through his meticulous research and insightful analysis, Damasio sheds light on the mechanisms that drive our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, illuminating the profound connections between our inner world and the broader world around us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Strange Order of Things is a testament to Damasio's exceptional intellect and dedication to advancing our understanding of the human mind and its remarkable capabilities. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the fields of neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy, as well as anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the intricate tapestry of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 262g\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 126 x 198 x 28 (mm)\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781472147363\\n                            \\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antonio Damasio","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44097812857082,"sku":"9781472147363","price":9.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/53402152312d8d3b64244728c0eac95c.jpg?v=1637296867","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/strange-order-of-things-life-feeling-and-the-making-of-cultures-1","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
