We visit U.C. San Diego Neurologist, V.S. Ramachandran who tells us about the evolution of human consciousness...or the difference between the way we think of some abstraction, like love and the way a baboon thinks of a rear end. Something in the way our brain operates tells us about our ability to imagine and perceive ourselves. Paul Broks, author of Into the Silent Land, invites us into his childhood dreams, inhabited by tiny little men whom he had no control over. Robert Lewis Stevenson, famed spinner of dark tales, had his own little men in his head, that he exploited for fame and profit.
