Neanderthalic Philosophy of Magical Unreality Vs. Sapien Rationalism

Meer over het boek

Exploring the intersection of evolutionary biology and neurophilosophy, the book delves into how the cerebellar dominant brain of Neanderthals shaped their intuitive and magical realist philosophy. It contrasts this with the development of Homo sapiens, whose retroviral symbiosis fostered reasoning and scientific thought through an expanded neocortex. The concept of neoneanderthalisation, influenced by archaeal symbiosis and climate change, suggests a return to a cerebellar-dominant brain, leading to a postmodern philosophy characterized by magical unreality.
