Historically researchers of neuroscience and psychology have
believed that the cerebral cortex produces the unique mental
capacities of human beings. However, a prevalence of
brain-imaging evidence now shows that the cerebral cortex, while
the seat of our everyday experience (notably in working memory), is
not predominant in actually formulating our amazing
capabilities. Rather, the achievements that mark humans as
“Homo sapiens” originate in
the cerebellum which increased three- to fourfold in
size and acquired massive cognitive and
social optimization capabilities over the last million
years. Thus, through its optimization of experience and skill of
the cerebral cortex, it was the cerebellum that was and is
predominant in producing culture, language, mathematics,
creativity, and extreme levels of skill in all areas from sports to
computer science and art. These optimizing functions of the
cerebellum are shown in the cases of Albert Einstein, Wolfgang
Amadeus Mozart, Maryam Mirzakhani, and the predictive powers of
Stonehenge. This book fills a critical role in bringing courses
up-to-date with the profound, basic changes this newly understood
predominant role of the cerebellum provides for understanding the
mechanisms related to all topics in psychology and neuroscience. It
is critical that this “new revolution in psychology and the
neurosciences” be introduced and reviewed in courses that are
part of both undergraduate and graduate studies in psychology and
neuroscience. This text might also be of use to courses in
anthropology and cross-disciplinary studies as the cerebellum was
critically involved in the evolution of cognitive and social
behaviour.
