Description

Tilney, F. The master of destiny: a biography of the brain. 1930

Dr. Tilney has traced in an interesting and authoritative manner the history and development of the brain. Starting with the simplest forms of life, he describes the nervous system and ascends to more complicated forms with emphasis on the central nervous systems of monkeys, gibbons, orang-utans and so to primitive and modern man. Man's brain is what makes him stand apart from all other living things, but his brain differs only in degree from those of his direct ancestors and his more remote cousins in the scale of life. The story is fascinating. - JAMA Network
