Recursive Mind - The Origins of Human Language, Thought, and CivilizationPaperback
The Recursive Mind challenges the commonly held notion that language is what makes us uniquely human. I think, therefore I am, is an example of recursive thought, because the thinker has inserted himself into his thought. In this compelling book, Michael Corballis argues that what distinguishes us in the animal kingdom is our capacity for recursion: the ability to embed our thoughts within other thoughts.
It also gives us the power of mental time travel--the ability to insert past experiences, or imagined future ones, into present consciousness.Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, animal behavior, anthropology, and archaeology, Corballis demonstrates how these recursive structures led to the emergence of language and speech, which ultimately enabled us to share our thoughts, plan with others, and Recursion enables us to conceive of our own minds and the minds of others.
