This book is a tour-de-force on how human consciousness may have evolved. From the "phantom pain" experienced by people who have lost their limbs to the uncanny faculty of "blindsight," Humphrey argues that raw sensations are central to all conscious states and that consciousness must have evolved, just like all other mental faculties, over time from our ancestors' bodily responses to pain and pleasure.

Zusammenfassung
The relation of mind -- consciousness especially -- and body has puzzled scientists and philosophers for centuries. Nicholas Humphrey here tells the evolutionary story of how sensory consciousness has come into the world and what it does here. Written in the form of a journey of discovery, A HISTORY OF THE MIND, which Daniel Dennett has called "a wonderful book -- brilliant, unsettling and beautifully written" -- gives us a bold, influential interpretation of the nature of consciousness by one of the world's leading theoretical psychologists.
