Implications of Evolutionary Theory for Human Homosexuality
The outer layers are more recent, and vary more from one species to the next and from one individual to the next (Cairns-Smith 1996). Thoughts or perceptions organized in the outer layers need to produce their effects by acting through the inner layers. For example we may reason our way (using the outer brain layers) into a fearful state (produced in the inner layers), or may similarly reason our way out of a fearful state. However, as Damasio (1994) points out, when the different regions of the brain are in disagreement, feelings may be less "convincing." When they all agree, they may be perceived as especially powerful or "raw."
