It uncovers many fundamental principles about how the brain works and about brain design through evolution by natural selection." "It will be a key text for researchers, graduate students and advanced undergraduates in the fields of neuroscience, psychology, medicine, biology, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence. It will also be of interest to all those concerned with and fascinated by the wider issues of what emotions are, why we have emotions and pleasure, and why emotions may not always appear to be adaptive in humans."--Jacket Notes Originally published in hardback in 1999 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 320-362) and index Notes Master and use copy.
