The Emergence of Personhood - A Quantum Leap?

Informationen zum Autor Malcolm Jeeves is professor emeritus of psychology at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. His previous books include From Cells to Souls -- and Beyond: Changing Portraits of Human Nature and Rethinking Human Nature: A Multidisciplinary Approach , both companions to this volume. Klappentext Despite the many well-documented similarities -- genetic, cognitive, behavioral, social -- between our human selves and our evolutionary forebears, a significant gulf remains between us and them. Why is that? How did it come about? And how did we come to be the way we are? In this book fourteen distinguished scholars -- including humanist, atheist, and theist voices -- address such questions as they explore how and when human personhood emerged. Representing various disciplines, the contributors all offer significant insights into new scientific research about the origins of human nature -- research that challenges some traditional views.
