Description

第一本整合神經科學與認知心理學的革命性巨著！既然我們和其他動物都是由同樣的化學物質組成的，也有同樣的生理反應，為何人類如此獨特？人類很特別，常常能不費吹灰之力地解決問題，當我們手上拿著大包小包走到家門前，馬上就知道怎麼伸出小指勾住門把開門。人類的心智活動也很旺盛：我們有同情心、道德感，懂得抽象思考，能把幻想和現實分開；還能抑制衝動，延遲滿足時間。除此之外，人類懂得創造美的事物，甚至還會透過科技把性和繁殖分開！大師親授的科普課，完整解析所有關於人類的研究！在一九八○年代之前，神經科學與認知心理學這兩個領域之間幾乎沒有互動，直到裂腦研究先驅葛詹尼加與認知心理學大師米勒，在共赴餐宴的計程車上的一番對談，才促成了認知神經科學的誕生，葛詹尼加因而被譽為「認知神經科學之父」，認知神經科學更成為二十一世紀的顯學。為了徹底了解「身為人類」所代表的科學意涵，葛詹尼加統整了神經科學、演化學、認知心理學、遺傳工程、人類學、動物行為學和語言學近十年的最新研究，融合社會科學的田野調查，探討各種令人困惑的問題：人類的大腦很特別嗎？腦袋越大就越聰明？我們為什麼那麼愛社交？講八卦攸關生存和演化？動物有道德感嗎？只有人類有亂倫禁忌？人類是唯一的藝術家嗎？猩猩也懂得欣賞夕陽之美？意識是怎麼一回事？動物會思考自己知道的事嗎？人類研究散落在各種不同領域，本書是葛詹尼加用大師的眼光為我們整理、至今為止最完整的人類研究，讓研究者和一般科普讀者，都能津津有味地讀下去。他在書中展現了幽默的筆法，從人類的生理構造、社交行為、道德、同理心，一路剖析至語言、藝術、直覺、意識等層面，結合各領域的文獻，挖掘人類的獨特之處。跟著大師的思考脈絡，你會驚歎於人類的奧妙，更將明白「生而為人」所代表的重大意義！
