⁃ From Bacteria to Bach and Back (intenta explicar por qué tenemos conciencia)
⁃ Thinking Fast and Slow (demuestra que nos creemos más racionales de lo que somos)
⁃ Jeremy England - complexity and thermodynamics (mencionado por la usuaria Charlene en una crítica muy interesante a Dennett)
⁃ The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind - Julian Jeynes
⁃ Serie de 4 artículos sobre el libro de arriba: https://meltingasphalt.com/mr-jaynes-wild-ride/
⁃ “Behave” by Robert Sapolsky — Probably the best starting point. Sapolsky walks through human behavior from the neuroscience of the moment a decision is made, then zooms out through hormones, brain development, evolution, and culture. Dense but written with humor and clarity.
⁃ “Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain” by Bear, Connors & Paradiso — This is the classic first-year neuroscience textbook. Covers neuroanatomy, cellular neuroscience, sensory systems, motor systems, brain development, and evolution in a very logical progression. Well-illustrated, clear language, and doesn’t assume prior knowledge beyond basic biology.
