Der Schwerpunkt des Buches liegt dabei auf den Wirbeltieren. Darüber hinaus gibt es einführende Informationen zur allgemeinen Gendarstellung der Gehirne von Wirbeltieren und Wirbellosen; die kognitiven Aspekte des Insektengehirns werden in einem Sonderkapitel detailliert behandelt.

Rezensionen

"Brain Evolution and Cognition is one of the best testimonies to the liveliness and richness of the debate on brain evolution and cognition as it stands today.... In a subject (consciousness) where people so often speculate from thought-experiments and intuition, it's particularly gratifying to read such rigorously grounded thinking...this book is certainly a welcome contribution and a valuable read to all of those puzzled by that most amazing of organs - the brain." --Metapsychology Online Book Review (Isabel Gois, King's College London) "...one of the best testimonies to the liveliness and richness of the debate on brain evolution and cognition as it stands today...a welcome contribution and a valuable read..." (Metapsychology Online, November 25, 2001) "Biologists in various specialties address such questions as whether it is possible to draw principles of brain evolution; why some brains become large and complex, others become small and simple, and still other remained as they were for hundreds of millions of years...."
