In Evolutionary Neuropsychology, Frederick L. Coolidge examines the evolutionary origins of the modern human brain. A new multidisciplinary science, evolutionary neuropsychology embraces and uses empirical findings from the fields of evolution, neuroscience, cognitive sciences, psychology, anthropology, and archaeology.

These adaptations and their brain regions and circuitry may now serve new functions, which are called exaptations, and they are particularly involved in higher cognitive functions, like thinking, imagining, recalling, and simulating differentscenarios.
