    "This book is an attempt to offer foundations for understanding the  evolution and nature of cognitive functions. It argues that what has  been missing is a full appreciation of the complexity of environmental  change; how it furnishes important dynamic structure; and how the  increasing complexity, and associated abstraction, of that structure,  has driven the evolution of complex systems, especially of cognitive  functions. The book shows how recent dynamic systems theory is leading  to a better appreciation of environmental structure and how the origins  of life itself are based on such structure. The book then goes on to  illustrate evolving capacities for the abstraction of structure in  genetic and epigenetic systems; in cell signalling and developmental  systems; and in perceptual and cognitive systems, reaching a new potency  in human socio-cognitive abilities. The idea has many implications for  research and theory on the human mind; for the goals and purposes of  science itself in such dynamic fields; and for the nature of  interventions in many practical domains."
