A History of the Mind: Evolution and the Birth of Consciousness Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1992 edition
Nicholas Humphrey
Offers 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,' this title argues that raw sensations are central to various conscious states and that consciousness must have evolved, just like the other mental faculties.
