The Cognitive Rampage Podcast #117: Tony Wright

I have often found myself asking, "Are moving backwards as a species?" Have you ever found yourself thinking this? Maybe even behaving or thinking that way yourself? I have, but my guest has taken that question further for his last 20 years, and may have proven that we are. It at least deems proving wrong right? Tony Wright has taken a closer look at the evolutionary context, Molecular ecology of our distant ancestral environment, and has included behavior, psychological and neurological data involving split brain research *gathered it all together researching for common denominators. He has proposed we take a closer look at our species neuro functioning and how we define it. Is it really advancing and functional OR are we neurologically degenerating?
