THE DEEP HISTORY OF OURSELVES
The Four-Billion-Year Story of How We Got Conscious Brains
Renowned neuroscientist Joseph LeDoux digs into the natural history of life on earth to provide a new perspective on the similarities between us and our ancestors in deep time. This page-turning survey of the whole of terrestrial evolution sheds new light on how nervous systems evolved in animals, how the brain developed, and what it means to be human.
"The new book by the famous neuroscientist Joseph Ledoux has a short title “Consciousness”. It deals with the very specific question of what role the parts of our brain play in certain perceptions. In doing so, he took back a broad arc from humans to the first single-celled organism – and later to the Big Bang and the creation of Earth."

"If you are not a materialist, there is no problem with understanding consciousness."
