Description
Aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate students, this textbook describes some of the basic principles affecting brain evolution. The author refers to data from a wide array of vertebrates while minimizing technical jargon. Particular attention has been paid to the ways in which changes in brain structure impact function and behavior. The volume concludes with a discussion on how mammal brains diverged from other brains and how Homo sapiens evolved a very large and special brain.
First Sentence
Late in January of 1898, roughly 40 years after Darwin published his Origin of Species, Professor Hermon Bumpus grasped a unique opportunity to test Darwin's "law" of natural selection (Bumpus, 1899).
