Description
In The Deep History of Ourselves, renowned neuroscientist Joseph LeDoux embarks on a fascinating exploration of the interplay between evolution and the human mind. This compelling work delves into the intricate web of our biological heritage, illuminating how our ancient past shapes contemporary emotions and behaviours.
The Story
LeDoux masterfully weaves together insights from neurology, evolutionary biology, and ecological science, creating a narrative that reveals the underlying mechanisms of our emotional lives. He examines the evolution of the brain and its functions, particularly focusing on the roles of fear and anxiety, and how these primal emotions have been pivotal in our survival as a species.

- Interdisciplinary Approach: The book skillfully integrates various fields, offering readers a holistic understanding of human behaviour and emotion.
- Provocative Ideas: Challenging conventional views, LeDoux invites readers to reconsider what it means to be human in the context of our evolutionary lineage.
