Is the universe around us a ﬁgment of our imagination? Or are our

minds ﬁgments of reality?

In this refreshing new look at the evolution of mind and culture,

bestselling authors Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen eloquently argue that

our minds necessarily evolved in an inextricable link with culture and

language. They go beyond conventional reductionist ideas to look at

how the mind is the response of an evolving brain trying to grapple

with a complex environment. Along the way they develop new and

intriguing insights into the nature of evolution, science and

humanity.
