Big brain : the origins and future of human intelligence / Gary Lynch and Richard Granger. New York : Palgrave Macmillan, 2008. viii, 259 p. : ill. ; 25 cm. Includes bibliographical references and index. Two Strategies for Internalising the World Genes and Evolution Brains Arrive Olfaction (Sense of Smell) Designs a Network From Olfaction to Cognition The Thinking Brain Tools for Thinking Individual Differences A Short History of the Humans The Origins of Intelligence Giant Brains Extrapolations More than Human In this groundbreaking look at the evolution of our brains, eminent neuroscientists Gary Lynch and Richard Granger uncover the mysteries of the outsize intelligence of our ancestors, who had bigger brains than humans living today. Weaving together history, science, and the latest theories of artificial intelligence, Lynch and Granger demystify the complexities of our brains, and show us how our memory, cognition, and intelligence actually function, as well as what mechanisms in the brain can potentially be enhanced, improving on the current design. Author of The Emotional Brain, Joseph LeDoux praised it as "provocative and fascinating," and, writing in the New Scientist, Willian Calvin called it "a popular account of how brains enlarge, in both evolutionary and developmental terms" and "a much needed book."
