About the author
B.F. Sergeev
8 books1 followerBoris Fedorovich Sergeev - Soviet scientist, writer, popularizer of science, doctor of biological sciences, specialist in the field of evolutionary and ecological physiology, mainly brain physiology, as well as animal ethology.
Born in 1934. Graduated from the 1st Leningrad Medical Institute named. Academician I.P. Pavlova.
Over the long years of research activity, a long line of animals of various levels of development passed through his hands, from anemones and lancelets, crabs, lampreys and sharks to monitor lizards, crocodiles, dolphins and great apes. Experiments in the laboratory were replaced by expeditions to nature, to the sea of the cradle of life, behind the shaky surface of which there is a world a hundred times richer than our land.
However, the results of research, scientific observations and discoveries should by no means remain the property of scientists alone. Each person needs to know as much as possible about the world around us and about himself. That is why a large series of books about the physiology of the brain, about the evolution of this organ, about how he "learned to think" and how the work of the human brain differs from the work of the brain of animals, came out from the pen of BF Sergeev.
In addition, he wrote a number of books on evolutionary physiology, about how animals adapted to the most incredible, sometimes extreme conditions of life in the eternal darkness and cold of the sea depths, under the pressure of the colossal water pressure, in the icy expanses of the polar regions of the planet, in the hot hell of anhydrous deserts or in the rarefied atmosphere of mountain peaks.
