The Accidental Mind: How Brain Evolution Has Given Us Love,

The Accidental Mind: How Brain Evolution Has Given Us Love, Memory, Dreams, and God

Linden sets the record straight about the construction of the human brain; rather than the â€œbeautifully-engineered optimized device, the absolute pinnacle of designâ€ portrayed in many dumbed-down text books, pop-science tomes, and education televisions programs, Lindenâ€™s organ is a complicated assembly of cobbled-together functionality that created the mind as a by-product of ad-hoc solutions to questions of survival. His guided tour of the glorious amalgam of â€œcrummy partsâ€ includes pit-stops in the histories and fundamentals of neurology, neural-psychology, physiology, molecular and cellular biology, and genetics.
