Blog Description Blog Description: A blog that explores how the prefrontal cortex has come to dominate human consciousness. The blog performs a “cognitive archaeology” of human thought, from our hunter/gatherer origins through agriculture, monotheism and, finally, to the scientific revolution. It examines how the dualist foundation of thought in the Western tradition has become the pervasive mode of consciousness, and what that means for our relationship with ourselves and the natural world.
