From Bacteria to Bach and Back: the Evolution of Minds

1 March, 2017
Author: Daniel Dennett
Genre: Science
Category: New Books

Recommended by bookseller Karin Scherer:

"This is definitely not an easy read but it poses fascinating questions: what is human consciousness? How has it developed? Taking thinking people from all walks of life - from poets and painters to physicists, psychologists and philosophers - as case studies, Dennett argues that consciousness is a product of evolutionary mechanisms: that there is, in other words, no 'ghost in the machine'."
