Episode 60 --- Why Our Human Brain Is Undeniably Unique In The Cosmos

Update: 2021-07-23

Description

Our civilization and technology as we know it owes itself to a fluke of evolution that enabled the development of human intelligence. It’s a marvelous and nuanced intelligence that cannot be replicated anywhere else in the cosmos. That doesn’t mean that intelligent life isn’t out there. But it’s likely not very similar to our own. Guest Bret Stetka chats about his new book “A History of the Human Brain” from Workman Publishing and tackles some of humanity’s biggest questions.
