Antonio Damasio makes clear that we descend biologically, psychologically, and even socially from a long lineage that begins with single living cells; that our minds and cultures are linked by an invisible thread to the ways and means of ancient unicellular existence and other primitive life-forms; and that inherent in our very chemistry is a powerful force, a striving toward life maintenance that governs life in all its guises, including the development of genes that help regulate and transmit life. The Strange Order of Things is a landmark reflection that spans the biological and social sciences, offering a new way of understanding the origins of life, feeling, and culture. 650 0 $a Homeostasis. 650 0 $a Neurosciences. 941 $a 1 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611012512.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0633C5CC629511EAAA75F64797128E48 994 $a C0 $b LS@Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
