Metazoa

Metazoa

Animal minds and the birth of consciousness

Named Book of the Week by the Australian Book Review, Metazoa enquires into the evolution of consciousness, from the glass sponge to the banded shrimp.  Sydney philosopher of science Peter Godfrey-Smith "draws together biological research and philosophical reflections to argue that the evolution of the mind...is inextricably bound up in our physical evolution".
