How Intelligence Happens by John Duncan
Understanding how brains build intelligence is among the most fascinating challenges of modern science. How does the biological brain, a collection of billions of cells, enable us to do things no other species can do? This book offers an adventure story - the story of the hunt for basic principles of human intelligence, behaviour, and thought.
