In a bold, reasoned, and meticulously researched knowledge leap, Cognitive Evolution erases the demarcation between life and intelligent life, deciphers the concepts of intelligence and cognition, and moves our kind to the precipices of digitizing the anatomical gnome of reason. Cognitive Evolution suggests that the high order mental behaviors of Homo sapiens are rooted in the same biology as the moth’s attraction to light, worker bees’ foreknowledge of their assignments, ants’ knowledge of the mechanics to execute the architectural design of an ant hill, or a female cat’s instinct to open the umbilical sack after giving birth. Author Alice Travis ponders, If we begin with what we accept to be intelligent life, at what point does life become non-intelligent? It was the recognition that there is no such point that gave birth to Cognitive Evolution, and its groundbreaking interpretation of intelligence.
