Samenvatting
How great is the evolutionary distance between humans and apes, and how did it come about? According to Michael Corballis, the gulf is vast, and derives from the fact that the human brain is lopsided - the dominance of the left half generating our talent for walking upright, handedness, and language.
In this brilliant account of the origins and implications of the specialization of the two halves of the brain, Corballis examines such topics as molecular evolution, communication between animals, and the human capability for reasoning and creativity to provide fascinating insights into the nature of human thought itself.
