The Birth of the Mind (Gary Marcus)

Subtitled "How a Tiny Number of Genes Creates the Complexity of Human Thought." A fascinating description of the current science linking genes to psychology. Working from molecules up, the author describes how the brain, and therefore the mind, is specified in our DNA. It's not hardwired, but flexibly prewired, through general recipes and autonomously functioning agents. It makes the whole system awe-inspiring!
