Man's emerging mind

Winner of the Governor General's Award for non-fiction, Man's Emerging Mind is a startlingly prescient examination of how humanity's evolutionary past shapes not only human nature but the human future. Berrill draws on the findings of paleontology and evolutionary biology to paint a vivid picture of man's evolution and provide insight into what the future holds. In its consideration of the immense social, cultural, and environmental problems facing humanity, Man's Emerging Mind is as relevant today as when it was first published in 1955.
