Some of this neuroscientist's pithy statements: "That which we call thinking is the evolutionary internalization of movement" (p35). "The brain's control of organized movement gave birth to the generation and nature of the mind" (p 50). "The issue of cognition is first and foremost an empirical problem, not a philosophical one" (p 135).
