Description

A radically new cosmological view from a groundbreaking neuroscientist who places the human brain at the centre of humanity’s universe

Renowned neuroscientist Miguel Nicolelis introduces a revolutionary new theory of how the human brain evolved to become an organic computer without rival in the known universe. He undertakes the first attempt to explain the entirety of human history, culture, and civilisation based on a series of recently uncovered key principles of brain function.

This new cosmology is centred around three fundamental properties of the human brain: its insurmountable malleability to adapt and learn; its exquisite ability to allow multiple individuals to synchronise their minds around a task, goal, or belief; and its incomparable capacity for abstraction.

Combining insights from such diverse fields as neuroscience, mathematics, evolution, computer science, physics, history, art, and philosophy, Nicolelis presents a neurobiologically based manifesto for the uniqueness of the human mind and a cautionary tale of the threats that technology poses to present and future generations.

The True Creator of Everything challenges readers to reconsider humanity's place in the universe through the unique lens of neurobiological discovery and cultural evolution.
