Publisher Description
At the heart of this classic, seminal book is Julian Jaynes' still-controversial thesis that human consciousness did not begin far back in animal evolution but instead is a learned process that came about only 3,000 years ago and is still developing. The implications of this revolutionary scientific paradigm extend into virtually every aspect of our psychology, our history and culture, our religion - and indeed our future.

Better than expected! Explores how our ancestors viewed inner dialogue. In my opinion, they weren't irrational people living according to superstition. Instead, they considered their inner dialog as the voice of the gods or God. I find this concept to be very interesting and meritorious.
