In The Insect-Populated Mind, author David Spooner proposes a close
connection between aspects of insect evolution and the human
intellect. By examining seemingly disparate subjects, such as
entomology, language, theory, genetics, astronomy, literature, and
music, Spooner proves that synthesis is indeed possible. Once this
fusion is achieved, the human species can be seen as connected not
just to the great apes, but also via consciousness to metamorphic
insects. While considering Richard Dawkins' and Susan Blackmore's
expositions of memes, Spooner suggests that the concept of memes
remains a peripheral understanding of religion and the arts. The
book also presents arguments on the roots and nature of the mind in
the work of Daniel Dennett and Steven Pinker.
