Aping mankind: neuromania, darwinitis and the misrepresentation of mankind

Raymond Tallis delivers a devastating critique on pseudo-Darwinian thought that is increasingly dominating discussion of what we humans are.


Raymond Tallis delivers a devastating critique on pseudo-Darwinian thought that is increasingly dominating discussion of what we humans are. He will expose the exaggerated claims made for the ability of neuroscience and evolutionary theory to explain human consciousness, behaviour, culture and society and promises to show that human beings are infinitely more interesting and complex than they appear in the mirror of ‘biologism’.
