Synopsis
This book tries to view the mind from a single perspective. It is based on the assumption that the human mind must have evolved; that self-consciousness must have a biological basis. It then uses plain language to take the reader through some difficult the origins of language, the evolution of habits of thought, and the "mapping" of the world in the brain which creates awareness. It ends up with the controversial conclusion that the human mind is only a few degrees different from an animal's and that self-consciousness, memory, and higher emotions are all simple language-driven abilities which we pick up as children.

Reviews
This exciting evolutionary odyssey, which was a BOMC and History Book Club selection in cloth, interweaves recent advances in linguistics and anthropology and controversially concludes that imagination and higher emotions are language-driven extensions of the animal mind.
