The main topic of the book is a reconstruction of the evolution of
nervous systems and brains as well as of mental-cognitive
abilities, in short "intelligence" from simplest organisms to
humans. It investigates to which extent the two are correlated. One
central topic is the alleged uniqueness of the human brain and
human intelligence and mind. It is discussed which neural features
make certain animals and humans intelligent and creative: Is it
absolute or relative brain size or the size of "intelligence
centers" inside the brains, the number of nerve cells inside the
brain in total or in such "intelligence centers" decisive for the
degree of intelligence, of mind and eventually consciousness? And
which are the driving forces behind these processes? Finally, it is
asked what all this means for the classical problem of mind-brain
relationship and for a naturalistic theory of mind.
