Or are our minds figments of reality? In this refreshing new look at the evolution of mind and culture, bestselling authors Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen eloquently argue that our minds necessarily evolved inextricably within the context of culture and language. They go beyond conventional reductionist ideas to look at how the mind is the response of an evolving brain trying to grapple with a complex environment. Along the way they develop new and intriguing insights into the nature of evolution, science and humanity. 606 $aCognition and culture 606 $aConsciousness 606 $aIntellect 606 $aGenetic psychology 606 $aCultural pluralism 615 0$aCognition and culture. 615 0$aConsciousness. 615 0$aIntellect. 615 0$aGenetic psychology. 615 0$aCultural pluralism. 676 $a153.4/2 700 $aStewart$b Ian$f1945-$0447732 702 $aCohen$b Jack 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455094103321 996 $aFigments of reality$92463667 997 $aUNINA
