This is a fascinating exploration of the nature and power of human
intelligence, and the way it has singled us out from the rest of
the animal kingdom. Human success in the face of the rigours of the
physical world and human dominance within the animal kingdom are
due to intelligence: those tools of the mind that give us access to
the stored experience of humankind and allow us to reason, to test
our ideas, and to plan for the future. How we define intelligence,
what it consists of, how it evolved, and how we can enhance it in
the future are the questions addressed by the eight expert
contributors to this remarkable book. The volume originates in the
seventh annual series of Darwin College Lectures, delivered in
Cambridge in 1992, and includes contributions from Simha Arom,
George Butterworth, Daniel Bennett, Richard Gregory, Nicholas
Mackintosh, Roger Penrose, Roger Schank and Lawrence Birnbaum.
