Reviews
Rosenbaum, a psychology professor at Pennsylvania State University, asserts that the entire cognitive world operates along Darwinian lines-that competition among the neural circuits underlying motor behavior, thinking, memory and perception accounts for everything we think, say, and do. ... It's a Jungle in There deserves to be selected. It presents a bold idea that puts human cognition squarely onto the shoulders of giants in the natural sciences, Darwin among them. * Robert Epstein, Scientific American *
Tying the vicissitudes of psychology to any one principle, even loosely, is bold, but Rosenbaum's careful prose will ignite thoughtful debate, not the heated arguments evolutionary psychology often arouses. * Publishers Weekly *
A splendid book, full of amazing insights. Starting from the claim that processes in minds and brains follow basic Darwinian principles, David Rosenbaum takes us on a surprising tour of cognitive psychology, opening our eyes to novel and exciting views of a number of classic phenomena." * Wolfgang Prinz, Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Leipzig, Germany *
