Chapter-by-chapter, the modern science of Forensic Neuropsychology is present; students will learn about the neurochemistry of their amazing brains - the organ of behavior and its chemistry - the "story behind the story" of what we do with our lives. Along the way they will learn about the spectrum "brainmark' of psychopathy and pathways of adaptation versus maladaptation as humans make important decisions. At the end of the read, students will understand the importance of ancient survival scripts connecting to the modern development of our brains to a new standard of natural selection in the 21st century.
