How did we come to have minds? For centuries, poets, philosophers,
psychologists, and physicists have wondered how the human mind
developed its unrivaled abilities. Disciples of Darwin have
explained how natural selection produced plants, but what about the
human mind? In From Bacteria to Bach and Back, Daniel C. Dennett
builds on recent discoveries from biology and computer science to
show, step by step, how a comprehending mind could in fact have
arisen from a mindless process of natural selection. A crucial
shift occurred when humans developed the ability to share memes, or
ways of doing things not based in genetic instinct. Competition
among memes produced thinking tools powerful enough that our minds
don't just perceive and react, they create and comprehend. An
agenda-setting book for a new generation of philosophers and
scientists, From Bacteria to Bach and Back will delight and
entertain all those curious about how the mind works.
