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.
Applying multimodal textual analysis to the languages and images of
on-line communication forms, Kay Richardson shows, from an applied
linguistic perspective, how the Internet is being used for global,
interactive communication about public health risks. Detailed case
studies of the possible risks posed by SARS, by mobile phones and
by the vaccination of babies against childhood diseases are
situated within the context of research on computer-mediated
communication, as well as within the broader social context of
globalization and discourses of risk and trust.

How could something as seemingly transcendental as the human mind
have arisen from far simpler material beginnings? This book
provides a comprehensive overview of evolution from pre-life and
early life forms through increasing complexity to advanced
cognitive systems using a new framework based on dynamic systems
theory.
