From Continuity to Contiguity: On the genesis of consciousness, culture and oral language (Part II)

Abstract

Based on my previous model and supported by a biophysical interpretation of nervous cell, nervous system, memory, mind and phylogenesis, I further propose a Tensorial-Relational model, aimed at providing a paleoanthropological and physicalist’s explanations of the genesis of consciousness, culture and oral language among human communities.

Part II of this four-part article series includes: 1.4 Neuron and Nervous System: evolutionary significance; 1.4.1 Memory, dissipative structures, anticipatory systems and philogenesis; and 1.4.2 From mind to consciousness.
