This book is a tour-de-force on how human consciousness may have evolved. From the phantom pain experienced by people who have lost their limbs to the uncanny faculty of blindsight, Humphrey argues that raw sensations are central to all conscious states and that consciousness must have evolved, just like all other mental faculties, over time from our ancestorsodily responses to pain and pleasure.
