À propos de ce produit

Product Information

Just over 125,000 years ago, humanity nearly went extinct until a dramatic shift occurred--fossil records suggest that suddenly Homo sapiens displayed new behaviors like tracking the tides and eating the nearby oysters. Before long, they'd pulled themselves back from the brink of extinction. What saved us during that period of endangerment was the human brain, and its evolutionary journey is unlike anything else in history. In Brain Power , neuroscientist and science writer Bret Stetka takes readers through that far-reaching journey, showing exactly when and how the human brain adapted and evolved to shape who we are today. In tracking the evolution of the human brain from its origin to where it may someday take us, Stetka brings us to a wide range of locales. We see the critical moment when chemicals from rocks form the first strands of RNA and DNA, eventually leading to nature's first nervous system, found in the lowly sea sponge. We see gorillas in zoos performing tasks and showing capabilities that stretch our fundamental conceptions of what traits make us uniquely human. The whole millennia-long journey begs the question of where the brain might head next. Brain Power takes stock of the current state of play in the burgeoning concept of epigenetics--which may take the human brain to new evolutionary places--and also technologies like CRISPR that allow scientists to manually edit our own genetic code. The biologic, philosophic, and ethical questions are wide ranging, and among them is this: will the evolutionary path of the human brain end with it replacing our own species with a "better" one?

Reviews

" A History of the Human Brain is a unique, enlightening, and provocative account of the most significant question we can ask about ourselves." --Richard Wrangham, author of The Goodness Paradox "One of the most lucid, clear-eyed, and talented science writers of our time--Bret Stetka--now turns his attention to the evolution of the human brain, taking us on a captivating journey from its origins to the present, enhancing our understanding of how this phenomenal organ and its 100 billion neurons work." --Eric Topol, MD, author of Deep Medicine "Clear, evidence based and engrossing. What we know about how the human brain works could fit on a figurative pinhead. But if you want to understand what we know about its evolution, this book is a terrific resource." --Felice Jacka, PhD, director of the Food Mood Centre, Deakin University, Australia "There are lots of ideas out there about consciousness and the human brain--the untidy product of millions of years of evolution. Bret Stetka comes as close as you could hope to making sense of them in this entertaining and wide-ranging book." --Ian Tattersall, curator emeritus, Division of Anthropology, American Museum of Natural History "Crack open this book and take a read. You will be transported, illuminated, and delighted." --Psychology Today "Science journalist Bret Stetka takes the reader on a roller coaster ride up the evolutionary trail from the sponge to modern man." -- The San Francisco Book Review "A readable and engaging history of how our most mysterious organ developed over time... from the brain's improbable and watery beginnings to the super-complex marvel that's found within the head of Homo sapiens today." --The Genetic Literacy Project, " A History of the Human Brain is a unique, enlightening, and provocative account of the most significant question we can ask about ourselves." --Richard Wrangham, author of The Goodness Paradox "One of the most lucid, clear-eyed, and talented science writers of our time--Bret Stetka--now turns his attention to the evolution of the human brain, taking us on a captivating journey from its origins to the present, enhancing our understanding of how this phenomenal organ and its 100 billion neurons work." --Eric Topol, MD, author of Deep Medicine "Clear, evidence based and engrossing.
