In the texts of this multi-authored book, which offers new perspectives on social cognition, we set out by trying to reconstruct the evolution of social cognition in animals, especially our closest relatives, the great apes. We then discuss the evolution of culture, an exceptional element of human social life, and its reciprocal interaction with our brain. Finally, we focus on psychopathological conditions, which can, in many instances, be understood as a functional disruption of brain mechanisms normally safeguarding social cognitive performance. Accordingly, the book is organised in four major sections pertaining to these topics.
