About this book

The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind by Jaynes, Julian. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780395207291.

At the heart of this book is the revolutionary idea that human consciousness did not begin far back in animal evolution. Rather, Jaynes presents consciousness as a learned process that evolved from an earlier hallucinatory mentality only three thousand years ago. The implications extend into every aspect if human life.
