The evolution of the human brain has been a patchwork of selection and culture over millions of years—a story of diet, tools, friends, fire, and even creativity. Bret Stetka makes fascinating sense of it all in A History of the Human Brain, covering everything from early life forms and primitive animals to current existential crises of the brain's own making. In simple terms and a lively, engaging narrative, Stetka illuminates how the brain got us here, where it has landed us today, and what it may have in store for us as a species.
