Many aspects of how and why the human mind evolved remain mysterious. While Darwinian natural selection has successfully explained the evolution of much of life on earth, it has never seemed fully adequate to explain the aspects of our minds that seem most uniquely and profoundly human–art, morality, consciousness, creativity, and language. Nor has natural selection offered solutions to how the human brain evolved so quickly–in less than 2 million years–and why such a large brain remains unique to our species.
