"Much is conserved in vertebrate evolution, but significant changes in the nervous system occurred at the origin of vertebrates and in most of the major vertebrate lineages. This book examines these innovations and relates them to evolutionary changes in other organ systems, ani…
This book encourages readers to view similarities and differences in various species as fundamental to a comprehensive understanding of nervous systems. "When did the first vertebrates emerge, and how did they differ from their invertebrate ancestors? When did vertebrates evolv…

Explores how the everyday activity of eating provides deep insights into humanity's cultural and biological heritage, starting with the diets of our earliest ancestors, and examines eating's role in the evolution of thebrain.
In this gustatory tour of human history, John S. Allen demonstrates that the everyday activity of eating offers deep insights into human beings' biological and cultural heritage. We humans eat a wide array of plants and animals, but unlike other omnivores we eat with our minds a…
In this gustatory tour of human history, Allen suggests that the everyday activity of eating offers deep insights into our cultural and biological heritage. Beginning with the diets of our earliest ancestors, he explores eating's role in our evolving brain before considering our…
