In the Light of Evolution: Brain and Behavior

This book focuses on the field of evolutionary neuroscience that now includes a vast array of different approaches, data types, and species.

The central goal of the In the Light of Evolution (ILE) series is to promote the evolutionary sciences through state-of-the-art colloquia -- in the series of Arthur M. Sackler colloquia sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences -- and their published proceedings. Each installment explores evolutionary perspectives on a particular biological topic that is scientifically intriguing but also has special relevance to contemporary societal issues or challenges.

Understanding evolution is a key to unlocking cancer, viruses, diseases and even Artificial Intelligence.
