The nineteenth-century debate on man's place in nature ranged broadly and deeply. It engaged the reading public at every level, leading popular periodicals to follow closely developments in biology, geology, brain research, psychology, natural theology, and political economy. New ideas were not fragmented into academic disciplines but were viewed as part of a common set of themes for ...

The mind-body problem has lain at the heart of the way we think about human nature throughout modern thought. It became a problem for science in the early nineteenth century when efforts were first made to provide systematic observations on the relationship between mind and brain. This work became increasingly experimental as researchers sought to localise functions in the brain. This study in ...

For such a young discipline, it is remarkable how much of a consensus has already been established in evolutionary psychology. It is widely agreed, for example, that modern human traits such as language had already evolved by the time our ancestors first left Africa. Certainly, by the time our ancestors were painting caves in Europe, they must have had distinctly modern minds. But perhaps this ...

Why have humans evolved such costly and complex brains And further, why do we use our brains to produce such seemingly useless behaviors as art or music Evolutionary psychologist Geoffrey Miller suggests that the reason might lie in what he considers to be Darwin s most significant contribution to evolution: sexual selection.

When did language arise, and how And why If it is of value for the survival of a species, as it clearly is, then why has only one species succeeded in acquiring full-blown language The theory of evolution offers a framework in which these questions may be addressed. The difficulty is that language, spoken or signed, leaves no lasting trace. Which of our ancient ancestors had language, and ...

I was delighted to be asked to write a history of the concept of the association of ideas, a topic which had loomed large in my own doctoral research on the history of ideas about the relationship between ideas and mind and brain.

John Burrow was working on evolutionary social theory while I was working on the wider Victorian debate on evolution and 'man's place in nature'.

An extraordinary conference was held on June 1982 to commemorate the centenary of Darwin's death. It occurred in a grand villa outside Florence.

I wrote this in my first year or two as a University Assistant Lecturer in Cambridge.

1982 was the centenary of Darwin's death, and everyone was (as they still are) claiming his legacy as the foundation of their particular world view.

I took this opportunity to ...
