We Were Never Born to Read
Human Beings invented reading only a few thousand years ago. And with this invention, we rearranged the very organization of our brain, which in turn expanded the ways we were able to think, which altered the intellectual evolution of our species.
Reading is one of the single most remarkable inventions in history; the ability to record history is one of its consequences.
Our ancestor invention could about only because of the brain’s extraordinary ability to make new connections among its existing structures, a process made possible by the brain’s ability to be shaped by experience.
This plasticity at the heart of the brain’s design forms the basis for much of who we are, and who we might become.
