The Evolution of Lateral Asymmetries, Language, Tool Use, and Intellectby John L. Bradshaw
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:On the cutting edge of neuropsychology and cognitive science, this book investigates lateral asymmetries in the human brain and contrasts these with asymmetries in invertebrates, primitive vertebrates, rats, birds, mammals and primates. Ten illustrated chapters present asymmetries in lower life forms, progress to hominoids and hominids, and discuss how such asymmetries are responsible for the development of langage, upright posture, tool use, intelligence and self-awareness in humans. Regarded as experts in their field, the authors have already received much acclaim for their previous books.
Book News Annotation:On the cutting edge of neuropsychology and cognitive science, this
volume investigates lateral asymmetries in the human brain and
contrasts these with asymmetries in primates as well as
invertebrates, primitive vertebrates, birds, and other mammals. Nine
illustrated (b&w) chapters present asymmetries in lower life forms,
progress to hominoids and hominids, and discuss how such asymmetries
are responsible for the development of language, upright posture,
tool use, intellect and self-awareness in humans.
