Subjects covered in the book are neurology, climatology, paleoanthropology, biology, but what unifies them all is an interest in what impact future discoveries will have on humanity. For instance, how does recent research into the brain affect our understanding of morality or time, language acquisition, or how we think about things like physical or temporal orientation. Will there be a huge human migration to the northern climes as global warming makes the earth’s climate hotter? What would places like Northern Canada be like in that scenario? There’s also a really interesting essay on mirror neurons, and how our minds develop ethics.
