Clapping with one hand: How inanimate nature gave birth to the human mind
14.99 €
Life on Earth is an incomprehensible, omnipresent bacchanalia of millions of legs, knots, barbs and teeth in which we exist and from which we come. For three and a half billion years it has done without us, and now, in the last moments of history, out of this tangle of animals, plants, fungi and microbes, man emerges and asks himself: who am I and what is the meaning of my human life? In his debut book, evolutionary neuroscientist Nikolai Kukushkin step by step recreates a picture of the world from inanimate matter to the human mind to find in the past of his species the answers to eternal questions. It turns out that dinosaurs are to blame for human suffering, lungs exist thanks to lichens, and the main event in the lives of our ancestors over the last eon was the transformation into worms. "One Palm Clap" is the story of man and his inner world, accommodating the entire journey from inorganic molecules to the emergence of language and told as if it were a chivalric novel or a mythical epic.
