Evolutionary Psychology / Quadrune Brain (Triune Brain)
charts used by Michael Dowd & Connie Barlow for telling The Great Story
Our human brain contains the foundations of vertebrate brain evolution: our reptilian brain (our Lizard Legacy) and our paleo-mammal brain (our Furry L'il Mammal). Evolved later is our human rational brain, the neocortex (our Monkey Mind), and highly developed in the human are the prefrontal cortex or frontal lobes (our Higher Porpoise; higher purpose).
