New Book Release: 'Cognitive Evolution: The Biological Imprint of Applied
Intelligence,' by Alice Travis; a bold, reasoned and meticulously researched
knowledge leap
BOCA RATON, Fla., Dec. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- The book "Cognitive Evolution"
addresses how the brain makes mental behaviors possible. It is the result of
an intensive analysis of interdisciplinary scientific efforts to codify the
physiological underpinnings of cognitive functions in Homo sapiens. In a bold,
reasoned and meticulously researched knowledge leap, the theory of Cognitive
Evolution proposes a new definition of biological evolution, and reaches other
conclusions believed to be of scientific interest in areas as distinct as
neurophysiology, computational theory, and psychology.

The Theory of Cognitive Evolution holds that "Race and ethnicity are
irrelevant to genius;" however, the same cannot be said of cultures. It
demonstrates, "Though categorically equal, cultures are decidedly unequal in
cerebral impact."
"Cognitive Evolution" predicts that increasingly rapid technological
advances will permit invasive exploration of brain activity, and that group
brain differences will be observed. The book posits that without a scientific
framework for discussing the causes of differences among disparate Homo sapien
populations, global society will face a crippling human relations nightmare of
the magnitude of George Orwell's 1984, a world where slavery is freedom.
While "Cognitive Evolution" does not support Nobel Laureate James Watson's
recent scientific pronouncement that a "racially differentiating gene" for
intelligence will be discovered, the treatise suggests that current public
policy prohibiting debate of measured intelligence indicia is flawed,
debilitating and stultifying. The book raises the questions:
-- Can society survive a tacitly recognized hierarchy of humanity?
-- Can the categorized superior and dull expect to share a common
evolutionary future?
