★美國Amazon 4.4星好評推薦！ ★《紐約時報書評》、《洛杉磯時報》、《衛報》、《經濟學人》、《科學》雜誌（Scientific）、《今日心理學》雜誌（Psychology Today）、《書單》雜誌（Booklist）、《出版人週刊》（Publishers Weekly）佳評如潮！ 頭足類和我們分處生命樹上遙遠的兩端，藉由牠們迥異於人類的演化故事，探索數億年來心智演變的奧祕。 「人類何以有主觀經驗？」 「章魚擁有高智能？」 最原始的生命，是以單細胞的形式，存在於海洋。單細胞生物獨自度過了一段非常漫長的時間，才因為基因突變，無法正常分裂成各奔東西的細胞，或其他未知原因，而有了多細胞生物相伴。這些彼此黏在一起的細胞，組合出各式各樣的生命形態，包括植物、動物，以及真菌。其中有些更離開海洋，上到了陸地。這些生命若要生存，功能各異的細胞便得依靠神經系統彼此協調，以應付外在環境變化，發展出所謂的智能。 在這個過程中，可能是在六億年前，人類和頭足類分家了。在頭足類那一端，牠們放棄了外殼，擁有無拘無束的行動力。漸漸地，牠們演化出適應這種生活型態的各項本領，包括傑出的變色能力、擁有「感覺」的腕足，甚至是做出各式各樣調皮搗蛋行為的「高智商」，奇怪的是，牠們多數似乎異常短命？ 一般認為除了人類以外，地球上擁有較高智能的是哺乳動物和鳥類。但我們越來越清楚知道，人類在生命樹上遙遠分枝的親戚——頭足類，也展現出驚人的心智能力。當我們在探討心智的奧祕時，或許應該納入其他動物也具有意識的事實，特別是頭足類。 身為科學家、哲學家與潛水員的作者，爬梳大量海洋科學、動物行為學、心理學、人腦科學以及哲學等等研究，藉由討論頭足類的心智演化，帶領讀者以更廣闊的角度探索「意識如何躍入生命」。 【導讀】（依姓名筆劃排列） 洪裕宏...
