The Evolving Brain: The Known and the Unknown

THE EVOLVING BRAIN: The Known and the Unknown. R. Grant Steen. Prometheus Books, Amherst, New York, 2007. 437 pp. Hardcover, $28. A neurophysiologist provides a crash course in modern brain science and delves into questions such as where creativity comes from and whether we can distinguish between brain and mind.

Despite the brain's complexities and mysteries, it is his view that evolution can now explain the human brain in broad strokes and will eventually explain human behavior in detail.
