A History of the Mind: Evolution and the Birth of Consciousness
by Nicholas Humphrey
Buy on AmazonHumphreys is the only person I know of who can work on nonhuman primates, write philosophy, and edit a literary magazine. The latter shows in this writing: I read this book in a single sitting. You may not agree with the ideas on consciousness (I don’t) but you get a clear exposition of all the work from Descartes to McGinn.
