Description
The human brain has undergone an extraordinary transformation over the past seven million years. From its humble beginnings as a small fist-sized organ to its current size and complexity, our brain has evolved into a powerful tool that enables us to think, learn, and adapt in ways we are only beginning to understand. This journey through our own heads is packed with fascinating stories, groundbreaking science, and surprising insights. Dr Jebelli explores how memory, meditation, and even the use of magic mushrooms have shaped our brains, while also uncovering the impact of climate change on linguistic diversity and the lessons that autism can teach us about our past and future. Through a deep exploration of neuroscience, evolutionary biology, psychology, and philosophy, Dr Jebelli reveals how a single mutation can have far-reaching consequences for our species.
