    How Evolution Gave Us Free Will

    de Kevin Mitchell ...
    An evolutionary case for the existence of free willScientists are learning more and more about how brain activity controls behavior and how neural circuits weigh alternatives and initiate actions.

They possessed extraordinary features: forebrains roughly 50% larger than ours, and estimated IQs to match--far surpassing our own. Many of these huge fossil skulls have been discovered ... Leer más

  • Evolution: Still a Theory in Crisis

    de Michael Denton ...
    More than thirty years after his landmark book Evolution: A Theory in Crisis (1985), biologist Michael Denton revisits his earlier thesis about the inability of Darwinian evolution to explain the history of life.

  • The Brain, In Theory

    de Romain Brette ...
    Why engineering and computational analogies are poorly suited to the study of biological cognitionMainstream theories of the brain are often expressed through engineering concepts—computation, code, control, reverse-engineering, optimization.

  • The Evolution of Language

    de W. Tecumseh Fitch ...
    Series series Approaches to the Evolution of Language
    Language, more than anything else, is what makes us human. It appears that no communication system of equivalent power exists elsewhere in the animal kingdom. Any normal human child will learn a language based on rather sparse data in the surrounding world, while even the brightest chimpanzee, exposed to the same environment, will not. Why not? How, and why, did language evolve in our species and ... Leer más
