Science of What Separates Us from Other Animals

In The Gap: The Science of What Separates Us from Other Animals, author Thomas Suddendorf explores the evolutionary origins of human cognition and its relationship to other species. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in understanding how our unique cognitive abilities have come to be. With a wealth of scientific evidence and compelling arguments, Suddendorf presents a compelling case that humans are far more than just another animal on the evolutionary tree. He argues that the gap between humans and other animals is not only wide but also deep, and that it is this gap which allows us to understand and interact with the world around us in a way that no other species can. By exploring the evolution of our emotions, language, abstract thought, and consciousness, Suddendorf gives us an unparalleled look into what sets us apart as human beings.
