The term neurohistory points to the fundamental realities that lie at the basis of both history and neuroscience: anthropology and the philosophy of time and world history. The reflection about humanity is an element that is inherent to both disciplines. Examples of possible applications include the coevolution of the brain and culture, as tested in a study of prehistoric toolmaking techniques. Alternatively, the brain itself may be regarded as an agent, an organ with needs of its own, as seen in our craving for sugary foods, a source of handy carbohydrates as an energy source for the brain.
