Evolving Brains, Emerging Gods

Michael Rosenberg, University of Delaware:
A masterful synthesis that merges the archaeological and anthropological evidence for the evolving elaboration of religious activity with the fossil evidence for the neurobiological evolution of the human brain and the psychological evidence for the evolution of the human mind housed within that evolving brain.

Patrick McNamara, Director of the Laboratory of Evolutionary Neurobehavior, Boston University:
An excellent text that throws new light on where religious ideas come from.

Jeffrey Lieberman, Jeffrey Lieberman, chair of psychiatry, Columbia University Medical Center and psychiatrist in chief of the New York Presbyterian Hospital, past president of the American Psychiatric Association:
In Evolving Brains, Emerging Gods, E. Fuller Torrey offers a scholarly and insightful treatise on the neuroscientific relationship between humanity and deities. In his twenty-first book, one senses a profound vision of the hereafter in the arc of this eminent mental health advocate and researcher’s career, from whom we hope there will be more to come.

Robert Sapolsky, John A. and Cynthia Fry Gunn Professor of Biology, Neurology, and Neurosurgery, Stanford University:
A unique scholarly approach to the subject that is sure to be influential and highly regarded.
