This book is about you, what you are and how you came here" (Suddendorf, 2013, p. 1). With this phrase Thomas Suddendorf begins a journey through the evolution of humans, a species that has managed to separate itself from its close relatives to become the greatest generator of change on the face of the earth. Decorated by the Australian Academy of Social Sciences, the Australian Psychological Society and the American Psychological Association, Suddendorf is also the author of one of the most cited articles in the area of neuroscience and behaviour - Mental Journey through Time and the Evolution of the Human Mind (Suddendorf & Corballis, 1997) - in which he explores mental travel through time, one of the central axes on which he analyses the differences between humans and the other species of the animal kingdom.
