How did we get from unconscious material forces to the dazzling
intricacy of the human mind? Standard evolutionary theory has not
provided us with a continuous picture of that long emergence. In
consequence, psychological theories remain highly fragmented,
without deeper roots or foundations, while the general public
either remain confused, or invoke miracles or the hand of an
intelligent designer. This book provides new concepts from dynamic
systems theory, and the new evolutionary synthesis, to present a
comprehensive overview of the evolution of cognition. It combines
ideas about complexity and environmental structure to highlight the
emergence of intelligent systems very early in evolution.
Intelligent systems came to dominate evolution through increasing
complexity, including cell signalling, epigenetics, developmental
systems, behaviour, brain and cognitive systems, to culminate in
the human cognitive and other mental systems. This volume has
fundamental implications for psychological theory and our
understanding of humanity.
