Metazoa: Animal Life and the Birth of the Mind

byPeter Godfrey-Smith

Focused on animal Life and the Birth of the Mind, Metazoa brings Peter Godfrey-Smith's science narrative to a complex and consequential subject. The narrative identifies the people, decisions, and pressures that shaped the subject, then places those developments within the wider field of science. Throughout, the author balances an accessible narrative with the complexity needed to understand motives, constraints, and disputed interpretations. Metazoa leaves readers with key context and a clear view of the human stakes involved. The emphasis stays on explanation, context, and the lived consequences behind the larger argument.
