Book Reviews of On Deep History and the Brain

Book Review: a brand new narrative
Summary: 5 Stars

Smail presents a panoramic new narrative by which one can approach human presence in the world: the prehistory and history of the human brain. This narrative makes it possible to move beyond poltical ideologies and dogmatic interdepartmental feuds.

The kind of feuds precisely on display here amongst reviews of this book.

This is a wonderful and fertile contribution to historical scholarship.

March 29, 2011 update:

Matter and Mind: A Philosophical Inquiry (Boston Studies in the Philosophy of Science) discusses the context of deep history and favorably cites Smail's book on page 192-3.

Summary of On Deep History and the Brain

When does history begin? What characterizes it? This brilliant and beautifully written book dissolves the logic of a beginning based on writing, civilization, or historical consciousness and offers a model for a history that escapes the continuing grip of the Judeo-Christian time frame. Daniel Lord Smail argues that in the wake of the Decade of the Brain and the best-selling historical work of scientists like Jared Diamond, the time has come for fundamentally new ways of thinking about our past. He shows how recent work in evolution and paleohistory makes it possible to join the deep past with the recent past and abandon, once and for all, the idea of prehistory. Making an enormous literature accessible to the general reader, he lays out a bold new case for bringing neuroscience and neurobiology into the realm of history.
