Why did the two hemispheres of our brain evolve to have such different perspectives -  such divergent ways of attending to our world?  In this episode we explore evidence that the evolution of the human brain has evolved along three axis: Bottom-to-Top; Side-to-Side; and Back-to-Front.  Each evolutionary development enhanced the capacity and complexity of a different part of the human brain and exaggerated the divergent roles of the two hemispheres.
