ANTHROPOLOGY OF THE HUMAN MIND: THE EVOLUTIONARY CONSTRUCTION OF THE HUMAN MIND

This book presents a rigorous anthropological analysis of the human mind as an evolutionary and species-specific construct of Homo sapiens. Cognition, emotion, behaviour, morality, language, belief systems, and social organisation are examined as adaptive regulatory outcomes shaped by biological evolution, ecological pressure, and long-term social coordination rather than philosophical or metaphysical assumptions. The work applies anthropology as a species-level science, distinguishing clearly between awareness, intelligence, and reflective self-awareness. It argues that the human mind did not evolve for objective truth or abstract meaning, but for survival, behavioural regulation, cooperation, and group stability under uncertainty. Neural development, social brain evolution, emotional regulation, cognitive bias, moral systems, belief formation, power structures, and cultural reinforcement are analysed within strict scientific boundaries. All explanations are confined to evolutionary theory, neuroscience, psychology, and anthropological evidence. This publication is a conceptual and theoretical scholarly work intended for academic and educational purposes. It does not propose clinical, medical, legal, or therapeutic interventions. The book contributes to anthropology, psychology, neuroscience, and interdisciplinary human sciences by offering an integrated evolutionary framework for understanding the construction and limits of the human mind.
