This document discusses physicalism and dualism views of the human mind and brain. It provides an overview of the triune brain model of brain evolution, with the lizard brain forming the core and newer mammalian and primate brains developing additional layers. The document notes that humans have a large cortex making up 80% of our brain mass, which enables advanced functions like imagination, tool use, social learning, and complex language that are unique to humans. It questions how we learn what different brain areas do.
