Uncover the Secrets of the Boskops: Exploring the Extraordinary Potential of the Human Brain Our big brains, language ability, and intelligence make us uniquely human. But barely 10,000 years ago (a mere blip in evolutionary time), human-like creatures called "Boskops" flourished in South Africa. They possessed extraordinary features: forebrains roughly 50% larger than ours, and estimated IQs to match—far surpassing our own. Many of these huge fossil skulls have been discovered over the last century, but most of us have never heard of this scientific marvel. In Big Brain, prominent neuroscientists Gary Lynch and Richard Granger compare the contents of the Boskop brain and our own brains today, arriving at startling conclusions about our intelligence and creativity. Connecting cutting-edge theories of genetics, evolution, language, memory, learning, and intelligence, Lynch and Granger explore the implications of large brains for a broad array of fields. From the current state of the art in Alzheimer's and other brain disorders to new advances in brain-based AI and robots that see and converse with us, and the means by which neural prosthetics—replacement parts for the brain—are being designed and tested, this book offers a fascinating journey into the complexities of the human brain. Big Brain provides tantalizing insights into our humanity—its past and its future.

One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one—homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us? In this first volume of the full-color illustrated adaptation of his groundbreaking book, renowned historian Yuval Harari tells the story of humankind’s creation and evolution, exploring the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be “human.” From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens challenges us to reconsider accepted beliefs, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and view specific events within the context of larger ideas. Featuring 256 pages of full-color illustrations and easy-to-understand text covering the first part of the full-length original edition, this adaptation of the mind-expanding book furthers the ongoing conversation as it introduces Harari’s ideas to a wide new readership.

"[A] shimmering new book . . . This is the place to look to learn about our best scientific understanding of what it means to be human." —Steven Pinker, New York Times bestselling author of The Language Instinct and How the Mind Works "A cognitive neuroscientist at the University of California, Santa Barbara (and one of the inventors of the field), takes us on a lively tour through the latest research on brain evolution." — The New York Times Book Review What happened along the evolutionary trail that made humans so unique? In his accessible style, Michael Gazzaniga pinpoints the change that made us thinking, sentient humans different from our predecessors. He explores what makes human brains special, the importance of language and art in defining the human condition, the nature of human consciousness, and even artificial intelligence.
