Product Description

Harold Klawans treated people with a huge array of troubles, all of which boiled down to one complaint: something was wrong with their brains. As a sympathetic and brilliant brain detective, Klawans deduced a great deal from his patients, not only about the immediate causes of their ailments but about the evolutionary underpinnings of their behaviour. This text contains Klawans' theories on the functioning of the brain and the evolution of language skills.
