Cheating on the Brain

Carl Zimmer over on the Loom  blog has a nice entry that covers a fascinating aspect of evolutionary psychology: Cheating on the Brain.

This whole field of evolutionary psychology is a fascinating one. One of the books I took to Barcelona was V.S. Ramachandran’s Phantoms in the Brain – an absolutely riveting book about the workings of the brain. Professor Ramachandran has a wicked sense of humour – but also manages to convey the sense of wonder about the workings of the human mind, and how they are tied back to the mechanisms in the brain. Brilliant book – read it and open your mind.
