What evolutionary process could have resulted in the unique and amazing human brain? New research by neuroscientists, paleontologists, and others reveals startling answers.

After several million years of jostling for ecological space, only one survivor from a host of hominid species remains standing: us. Human beings are extraordinary creatures, and it is the unprecedented human brain that makes them so. In this delightfully accessible book, the authors present the first full, step-by-step account of the evolution of the brain and nervous system.

This volume offers readers an opportunity to learn about how genomes are sequenced, what discoveries have so far come out of this scientific revolution, and about the ethical dimensions of this advancing technology. The revised edition focuses on the new advances in genome technology and builds upon the strong basic biological format that was established in the original publication. It also takes advantage of the recent major advances in genome level sequencing and analysis to demonstrate the vast increase in biological knowledge over the past decade.

Important practical implications are established by case reports and specific examples. The present book is the ideal complement to the practitioner s manual Techniques in Molecular Systematics and Evolution, recently published by the same editors in the Birkhauser MTBM book series.

The first part of this book deals with important applications of evolutionary and systematic analysis at different taxonomic levels. The second part discusses DNA multiple sequence alignment, species designations using molecular data, evo-devo and other topics that are problematic or controversial. In...
