CARTA: Extraordinary Variations of the Human Mind: Lessons for Anthropogeny

The human mind is one of the features that makes our species unusual, and any narrative of our origins must include explanations for how our mental facilities were generated by genetic and cultural evolutionary processes. This series brings together experts who have pursued in-depth explorations of the extraordinary variations of the human mind.
