Este libro expone, desde el punto de vista de un antrop logo, los extraordinarios avances de las ciencias dedicadas a explorar el cerebro humano.

Anthropology of the Brain In this unique exploration of the mysteries of the human brain, Roger Bartra shows that consciousness is a phenomenon that occurs not only in the mind but also in an external network, a symbolic system. He argues that the symbolic systems created by humans in art, language, in cooking or in dress, are the key to understanding human consciousness.
