Dangerous Mind: On The Origin Of Pseudo Species - Paperback

by Christopher Malden (Author)

Dangerous Mind .... .... traverses a landscape dominated by the insatiable but often destructive hunger of Homo sapiens - from the nature and origins of language and the use of numbers, from prehistoric cave art to the Renaissance, from the second World War to nuclear physics, modern genetics and neuroscience. The author brings together the research of the world's leading thinkers, from Darwin to Dawkins, and a host of acclaimed scientists to discover the truth behind the remorseless rise of our species. This fascinating account of mankind's emergence is essential reading for anyone who is in the least intellectually curious, whether ardent humanist, cynic or sceptic, layman or scientist. For all members of our sometimes benign but often brutal human race, these novel insights and a new view of our mental evolution help shed light on the age -old questions 'Who are we?' and 'Why are we here?'
