The brain : big bangs, behaviors, and beliefs / Rob DeSalle and Ian Tattersall ; illustrated by Patricia J. Wynne.
After several million years of jostling for ecological space, only one survivor from a host of hominid species remains standing: us. Human beings are extraordinary creatures, and it is the unprecedented human brain that makes them so. This book presents step-by-step account of the evolution of the brain and nervous system.
