Beautiful Cows by Val Porter
Throughout history, humans have been fascinated by their origins. The evolutionary development of the human brain has been of particular int erest since our intellectual, emotional, and cultural capacities are c onsidered to be unique among animals. This book brings together a grou p of eminent scientists from the fields of evolutionary biology, anthr opology, neuroscience, and psychology. Their views provide a starting point for a debate based on the most recent scientific data relating t o the evolutionary origins of the human brain, drawing together knowle dge from sciences of the past (paleontology, archaeology) and those of the present and future (molecular neurobiology, population genetics). The result is a lively, informative, and valuable synthesis that will interest a wide range of students and researchers in these fields.
Valerie Porter has written some 30 books on rural themes including Saving the Breeds, a history of the Rare Breeds Survival Trust, written jointly with Lawrence Alderson. She has edited an extensive range of agricultural, veterinary and life sciences books.
