A Mind So Rare: The Evolution of Human Consciousness
W.W. Norton (2001)
Abstract
Presenting the cultural and neuronal forces that power our distinctively human modes of awareness, the author proposes that the human mind is a hybrid product of interweaving a super-complex form of matter (the brain) with an invisible symbolic web (culture) to form a cognitive network.
