Description
Evolution of the Learning Brain explores how learning transforms us biologically and what it means for our ability to learn today. From the simplest organisms to humans, Paul Howard-Jones delves into 3.5 billion years of brain evolution to uncover the secrets behind our learning processes.
The book reveals surprising connections between learning and other living beings, such as bacteria and monkeys, and examines how technology is impacting on our evolution. With an accessible writing style and illustrations, Howard-Jones provides a fresh perspective on human learning that draws on exhaustive research into its implications for twenty-first-century education.
