Touching a Nerve, by Patricia Churchland

Churchland has illuminated the boundary between brain science and philosophy. This is a marvelous book. Makes an important, complex subject easy to read.  Evolution, epigenetics and culture make us what we are, the mind is what the brain does, we are what our neurons do.
Will infuriate many, made me chortle.
Read the amazon description.
