Longlisted for the PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award

A leading neuroscientist offers a history of the evolution of the brain from unicellular organisms to the complexity of animals and human beings today

Renowned neuroscientist Joseph LeDoux digs into the natural history of life on earth to provide a new perspective on the similarities between us and our ancestors in deep time. This page-turning survey of the whole of terrestrial evolution sheds new light on how nervous systems evolved in animals, how the brain developed, and what it means to be human.

In The Deep History of Ourselves, LeDoux argues that the key to understanding human behavior lies in viewing evolution through the prism of the first living organisms. By tracking the chain of the evolutionary timeline he shows how even the earliest single-cell organisms had to solve the same problems we and our cells have to solve each day. Along the way, LeDoux explores our place in nature, how the evolution of nervous systems enhanced the ability of organisms to survive and thrive, and how the emergence of what we humans understand as consciousness made our greatest and most horrendous achievements as a species possible.

Great little razor!
Good product! It’s pretty easy to use, it has some heft to it, the blades are sharp, can’t complain especially for the price.

A Quality All-Purpose/Beginner's Razor
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1), Color: Black Razor
These Zomchi razors tend to have pretty good ratings, but a lot of the reviews and interest in them is from women. As someone who has been shaving with a safety razor for many years now, it's awesome to see women getting into safety razors, but girls shave differently from us guys so I wanted to write a review as a guy. *I will say it bluntly right here, if you are a guy or girl in the market for a safety razor, or are on the fence about trying one, buy this Zomchi razor right now. You won't regret it, and neither will your wallet. This razor is great value for money. Beautiful design with nice machining. Construction is very sturdy and even the threads that screw into the head into are top quality. On top of that, the razor has a black coating that will prevent rust later down the road and protect the longevity of the razor. Shaving my face, this razor gave me a really smooth, close, quick shave with a feather brand blade. I wasn't having to come back and make extra passes. It cut sideburns easily and got the difficult areas other razors tended to nick. If you try the Zomchi blades it comes with and you don't like them, there are so many other brands available with different characteristics. With the right blade this razor will be amazing for everyone. -Long story short, if you are looking for a quality razor at an affordable price that simply gets the job done, this is the razor for you.

Beautifully made.
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1), Color: Fern Green Razor with Stand
If you’re trying to decide, just get this item. It’s sturdy, the color is gorgeous and it’s easy to load the blade. It does come with extras. You can also order large quantities from the company and they have a blade disposal can as well. Such a great design.
