This text establishes framework for consilience, the unification of the natural and social sciences. Grounded in physics, molecular biology, and evolutionary neuroscience," Toward Consilience" seeks to identify and trace the organic brain algorithms which, when replicated in our neural architecture, shape our human thought, behaviour, and language. Drawing on the work of Edward O. Wilson, Paul MacLean, and others, Dr. Corey presents a significant and thought-provoking effort at understanding what makes us human.
