Book Overview

Adopting what he calls a 'bottom-up' approach to the evolution of human behaviour, Allen considers the brain as a biological organ; a collection of genes, cells, and tissues that grow, eat, and age, and are subject to the direct effects of natural selection and the phylogenetic constraints of its ancestry.
