Mina Herz’s Reviews > The Archaeology of Mind: Neuroevolutionary Origins of Human Emotions > Status Update

An incredibly interesting book, that attempts the ambitious task of connecting neuroscience with affectivity, and yet does so brilliantly.

In terms of readability - realistically, its going to be a slog for anyone without some science background, and indeed there are points where you can tell the author is almost trying to pull himself back from delving into more specialist points.

Loving this so far. Couldn't get into this at first, because its a bit unstructured and rambly at points, but it really is fantastic. Can't tear myself away from it.


Also - the behaviouralists have really impoverished our understanding of neuroscience.
