About This Book

Peter Godfrey-Smith explores the evolutionary origins of consciousness by examining the intelligent and alien mind of the octopus. He traces the biological development of complex nervous systems from the sea to modern mammals and birds. The book blends scientific research with philosophical inquiry to understand how subjective experience first appeared on Earth.
