ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONTHE CONTINUATION OF A LITERARY PHENOMENON The successful duo returns to tackle the greatest mystery of human nature: our brains. "Our minds live in a dark room." "This is the great mystery we face," Arsuaga notes in this dialogue between the Sapiens and the Neanderthal about the most challenging part of their joint project, the most complex, and which involves opening a door to the unknown. Because humans live with the paradox: Despite the strides made by neuroscience in our lifetimes, our brain - which govern our connections to the outside world - remain an enigma. Identity, intelligence - innate and artificial - memory, the spark of consciousness that sets humans apart from the other species: These are some of the topics addressed in this book, approached with wisdom and humor and mediated by the relationship between scientist and novelist.
