Smart and conscious. 4 billion years of brain evolution. Leda D.

Our conscious mind is self -centered: he believes that he is where the psychological action occurs. But a person is rather a driver driving Tesla: if necessary, he is able to control the car, and the rest of the time he can think about something else.

“If we really want to understand human nature, we will have to figure out the history of evolution,” said one of the leading world neurobiologists Joseph Leda

-how did life appear on our planet? p>

- How did the sexual reproduction arose?

- How did multicellular organisms appear from unicellular organisms?

- How did the nerve systems evolve? About consciousness and brain?

Joseph Leda step by step examines each of the points, proving that the earliest unicellular organisms showed behavior aimed at survival, along with abilities for learning and memorization, and sees the key to understanding human behavior in these mechanisms. Along the way, Leda demonstrates how the evolution of the nervous system has made it possible to emerge creatures with a complex mental life, possessing what we call consciousness, but we are poorly understood; Explits the origin and meaning of emotions, and also explains why our conscious mind can be one of a kind.
