The most remarkable and mysterious object in the cosmos sits inside our heads. Our brains, the centres of consciousness, logic, and creativity, have nearly 100 billion neurons forming some 100 trillion connections, a complexity found nowhere else in the universe.
So how did the conditions on planet earth drive its evolutionary marvel through planetary catastrophes and epic conflicts, through death, sex, and love. Based on his two-part Horizon special on the BBC, Jim shares what he has learned from geologists, palaeontologists, neuroscientists, behavioural psychologists – and from having had his own brain scanned, imaged, and 3D-printed.
In this Darwin Day Lecture, Jim Al-Khalili takes us through the brain's 700 million-year evolutionary history: how it developed from simple nerve cells to control movement and detect light in early organisms into the remarkable system that defines what it means to be human.
