Exploring the evolution of human consciousness, the book delves into phenomena like "phantom pain" and "blindsight" to illustrate how raw sensations underpin conscious experiences. The author, Humphrey, posits that consciousness has developed over time from our ancestors' basic reactions to pain and pleasure, emphasizing the continuity of mental faculties throughout evolution. This thought-provoking analysis challenges readers to reconsider the origins and nature of consciousness itself.
