Presented By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

The Evolution of Cognition and Its Implications–OLLI Study Group (50+)

Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at U-M

Class meets Wednesdays, May 1 - July 17

We will focus on the evolution of human cognition from sight to language and how it affects what we think we "know." Some questions to be addressed: how sensory knowledge is constructed by the brain; what the brain "knows" that it doesn't tell our consciousness; why and how language evolved; how language reveals or hides the knowledge process. Class taught by Bill Birdsall. Web familiarity is expected. Before enrolling, visit: https://sites.google.com/a/umich.edu/evolution-of-cognition/
