Title: Mind Shift: How Culture Transformed the Human Brain

Author: John Parrington

Narrator: Steven Crossley

Format: Unabridged

Length: 17:21:24

Language: English

Release date: 07-01-21

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: Non-Fiction, Science & Technology, Biology & Chemistry, Social Science

Summary:

The mental capacities of the human mind far outstrip those of other animals. Our imaginations and creativity have produced art, music, and literature; built bridges and cathedrals; enabled us to probe distant galaxies, and to ponder the meaning of our existence. When our minds become disordered, they can also take us to the depths of despair. What makes the human brain unique, and able to generate such a rich mental life?

In this book, John Parrington draws on the latest research on the human brain to show how it differs strikingly from those of other animals in its structure and function at a molecular and cellular level. And he argues that this 'shift', enlarging the brain, giving it greater flexibility and enabling higher functions such as imagination, was driven by tool use, but especially by the development of one remarkable tool - language. The complex social interaction brought by language opened up the possibility of shared conceptual worlds, enriched with rhythmic sounds, and images that could be drawn on cave walls. This transformation enabled modern humans to leap rapidly beyond all other species, and generated an exceptional human consciousness, a sense of self that arises as a product of our brain biology and the social interactions we experience. Our minds, even those of identical twins, are unique because they are the result of this extraordinarily plastic brain, exquisitely shaped and tuned by the social and cultural environment in which we grew up and to which we continue to respond through life. Linking early work by the Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky to the findings of modern neuroscience, Parrington explores how language, culture, and society mediate brain function, and what this view of the human mind may bring to our understanding and treatment of mental illness.

Unlike all other animals, the 'mind shift' we humans underwent has left us with the extraordinary power of conscious awareness. And words may lie at the heart of that transformation.

Princess Sylviianel has always known that on her twelfth birthday she too would be bound to her own Pegasus.

But how can you be friends with someone you cant talk to?

But everything is different for Sylvi and Ebon from the moment they meet at her bindingwhen they discover they can talk to each other. They form so close a bond that it becomes a threat to the status quoand possibly to the future safety of their two nations. For some of the magicians believe there is a reason humans and pegasi should not fully understand each other
