Summary:
"An investigation into homeostasis, the condition of that regulates human physiology within the range that makes possible not only the survival but also the flourishing of life. We descend biologically, psychologically and even socially from a long lineage that begins with single living cells; our minds and cultures are linked by an invisible thread to the ways and means of ancient unicellular life and other primitive life-forms; and inherent in our very chemistry is a powerful force, a striving toward life maintenance that governs life in all its guises, including the development of genes that help regulate and transmit life. Antonio Dsmasio is professor of Neuroscience, Psychology, and Philosophy at the University of Southern California. He is the author of Descartes' Error"--Provided by publisher.
