This is, perhaps, the first serious book for a
general audience to be illustrated by AI. The capacity of AI to clearly
illustrate complex ideas with breathtaking detail and beauty is truly
remarkable. Each paragraph of the text was used as a unique prompt, guiding the
advanced AI systems (Chat GPT-4 and DALL-E-3) to serve as my “science
illustrator in earth tones.” This creative endeavor has been influenced by my
perspective as a visual thinker but is firmly rooted in scientific literature.
It embodies my ideas about the relevance of mental illness to human evolution,
ideas that have evolved over 50 years of contemplation.
As a seasoned psychiatrist, I offer a unique perspective on the origins of our
deepest motivations. Join me on a visually phantasmagorical journey backed up
by mainstream science tracing our motivational roots from the earliest social
interactions of our primate ancestors, through the crucial developments of our
hominin forebears, to the complex emotional landscape of modern Homo sapiens.
