Revealing the brain as a social organ, adapted to respond to and process specific social stimuli that are unique to human evolution, Dr Leslie Brothers uses findings from neuroscience, anthropology and palaeontology to make a convincing argument.

In this wide-ranging, highly readable book, Dr Leslie Brothers reveals the brain as a social organ - adapted to respond to and process specific social stimuli that are unique to human evolution. Findings from neuroscience, cognitive science, psychiatry, neuropsychology, anthropology, palaeontology, and sociology together present a convincing argument: that it is not possible to understand the products of human evolution - whether language, consciousness, or emotion - in the absence of a social context.

Leslie Brothers, M.D., is Associate Clinical Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, UCLA School of Medicine.
