For much of recorded history, people considered the heart to be the most important organ in the body. In cultures around the world, the heart—not the brain—was believed to be the location of intelligence, memory, emotion, and the soul. Over time, views on the purpose of the heart have transformed. Modern medicine and science dismissed what was once the king of the organs as a mere blood pump subservient to the brain, yet the heart remains a potent symbol of love and health and an important part of our cultural iconography.

Over the past decade neuroscience has uncovered a wealth of new information about our senses and how they serve as our gateway to the world. This splendidly accessible book explores the most intriguing findings of this research. With infectious enthusiasm, Rob DeSalle illuminates not only how we see, hear, smell, touch, taste, maintain balance, feel pain, and rely on other less familiar senses, but also how these senses shape our perception of the world aesthetically, artistically, and musically.

Мы наслаждаемся утренним кофе или изысканным ужином, по большому счету ничего не зная о сложном взаимодействии между вкусовыми ощущениями наших рецепторов, запахом, осязанием, зрением и даже нашими ожиданиями, которое и создает то, что мы называем «вкус». Хотя мы сталкиваемся со вкусом по несколько раз в день, мы крайне мало знаем о нем и поэтому просто не замечаем мельчайших деталей того, что едим или пьем. В результате весь богатейший мир вкуса сводится для нас к некоему «фоновому» ощущению.

В человеческом обществе фаллос считается символом могущества и власти, и мы привыкли думать, что у этого представления есть крепкая биологическая основа. Научный журналист Эмили Уиллингем, рассказывая о ритуалах спаривания и пенисах животных, показывает, что у природы на этот орган были совсем другие планы, и создавался он не для того, чтобы его обладатели были наделены какими-либо преимуществами.

Что такое эмоции и зачем они нужны? За столетия изучения этого вопроса ученые так и не нашли на него ответ. Более того, они даже не могут договориться, как этот ответ должен выглядеть. Нейробиолог Дэвид Андерсон убежден, что объективный и эмпирический подход к изучению эмоций может предложить нейронаука. Она позволяет искать ответы на сложные вопросы об эмоциях, раньше считавшиеся неразрешимыми. Долгие годы Андерсон изучал нейронные системы, контролирующие эмоциональное поведение у животных, чтобы понять те же механизмы работы мозга у людей.

Our understanding of diseases have dramatically changed over human history. Early civilisations believed health and disease were directly caused by the gods. This is why priests and priestesses were also healers and doctors. The ancient Greeks introduced the four humours theory, namely that the body was composed of four fluids: blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile. Disease and illness were caused by imbalances. Treatment was to rebalance these fluids.

Over five million years ago, a group of primates discovered tools. Perhaps it was a large rock, ideal for cracking nuts, or a stick to extract honey from a beehive. Regardless, the future of our planet was changed forever. Slowly, the primate evolved, abandoning the trees for solid ground and four legs for two–and the tools changed with it. Stones were sharpened, then attached to sticks, before stone gave way to bronze, iron, steel.
