Evolving Brains by John Allman

Neurophysiologist John Allman draws on the wealth of new findings in molecular genetics and paleoanthropology to trace the history of brain evolution from the simplest of animals to human beings. In doing so, he explores the forces and mechanisms that have influenced evolutionary development, including climatic change, the energy requirements of large brains and the invention of the extended family in early humans.
