SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
In this book, Raymond Tallis discusses what he considers to be exaggerated claims made for the ability of neuroscience and evolutionary theory to explain human consciousness, behaviour, culture and society, and suggests that human beings are infinitely more interesting and complex than they appear in the mirror of biologism.
