Self comes to mind constructing the conscious brain

Self Comes to Mind is a nuanced and original chronicle of the evolution of the human brain. It reveals how the brain's development of a self becomes a challenge to nature's indifference and opens the way for the appearance of culture, a radical break in the course of evolution. Damasio views brain development through the lens of biological evolution, starting with the simplest organisms that exhibit elaborate life regulation devices but do not require brains.
