Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Our perception of the brain structure and function as an organ full of secrets and mysteries must change, and it is necessary to consider it as a part of the body that is constantly evolving and developing to maintain homeostasis for the entire human organism.
MoreLong description:
Our perception of the brain structure and function as an organ full of secrets and mysteries must change, and it is necessary to consider it as a part of the body that is constantly evolving and developing to maintain homeostasis for the entire human organism. New fossils, imaging methods, molecular genetics, comparative anatomy, evolutionary psychology, cognitive concepts in neuroscience, and neurology have made it possible to address questions of the neurological evolution of humans. This book integrates disparate findings from those disciplines in a succinct history by explaining how evolutionary process occurred, reshaped our brain, reconstructed our mind, and finally changed our "selves."
