What is it that makes humans unique? Our guest on Inquiry tonight, Dr. MICHAEL S. GAZZANIGA, director of the University of California at Santa Barnara’s SAGE Center for the Study of the Mind, believes it’s the unique anatomy of the human brain. And he should know. Dr. Gazzaniga did the landmark pioneering studies of patients who had their left hemisphere of their brain surgically severed from their right. Tune in tonight and find out why your left side interprets your life, what conscious awareness actually is and if a chimp would make a good date. It all has to do with TOM: Theory Of Mind. Dr. Gazzaniga’s thought-provoking and entertaining book is titled HUMAN: THE SCIENCE BEHIND WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE.
