A new theory of Intelligence, from a renowned and highly respected writer on brains and evolution
What constitutes consciousness or intelligence? This is a question that has proved to philosophers to be an intellectual dead-end.

Calvin begins by asking what intelligence is. He moves to the Why of intelligence, where evidence from chimpanzees is important, before coming to the all-important How of intelligence, the cerebral codes and Darwinian processes that operate within seconds to produce intelligent thought and action.
