MERLIN W. DONALD, Ph.D. Merlin Donald was Professor and Head of Psychology at Queen’s University, as well as Professor and Chair of Cognitive Science at Case Western Reserve University. He currently holds an Honorary Professorship in Culture and Cognition at Aarhus University, Denmark, and is a Fellow of the Canadian Psychological Association, the World Academy of Art & Science, and the Royal Society of Canada. He is the author of many scientific papers, and two influential books: Origins of the Modern Mind: Three Stages in the Evolution of Culture and Cognition and A Mind So Rare: The Evolution of Human Consciousness. His work has been translated into nine languages. A cognitive neuroscientist with a background in philosophy, Donald did his early empirical work in the field of human cognitive and clinical neuroscience, before constructing a theory of human cognitive evolution that greatly influenced the recent growth of interdisciplinary studies of human mental origins. In 1997, a conference held at the University of Cambridge, UK, was dedicated to the pioneering theoretical work of Professor Donald. In his introduction to Cognition and Material Culture, the edited book that followed from that conference, the noted British archaeologist Colin Renfrew wrote: “Merlin Donald’s Origins of the Modern Mind may be regarded as the most coherent statement which we yet have concerning the development of human cognitive abilities.” Donald’s theory assigns to culture and technology a crucial co-evolutionary role in explaining the intellectual capacities of modern humans. He also claims that the refinement and expansion of primate conscious capacity was a key adaptation that enabled the emergence of the modern human cognitive system in its cultural Petri dish. He is currently trying to understand how the slow-moving biology of the brain can deal with the rapidly changing “cognitive ecology” provided by culture and technology. Humanity has been greatly concerned about changes in the physical ecology, but has largely ignored the massive changes taking place in our cognitive ecology, even though the latter will probably determine our future direction as a species. |

JOHN SCHEDEL, Ph.D. John Schedel is an Associate Professor of Speech at Medaille College in Buffalo, New York. He holds a Ph. D. in Communication from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. Dr. Schedel is one of the “original”, and is still one of the few, rhetorical theorists who use Julian Jaynes’s theories as bases for the study of public communication. His initial foray into Jaynes’s contributions to the study of symbolic “magic” and the metaphoric nature of “consciousness” was his 1982 Ph.D. dissertation. This line of study continues to this day. In more recent years, Jung’s theories concerning archetypes, with special emphasis being placed on “psychoid archetypes”; meme theory, chaos theory, Kenneth Burke’s and William Covino’s theories about rhetorical “magic”, and Norse mythological thought concerning “wyrd” have been used to supplement and inform Jaynes’s contributions. Some of Dr. Schedel’s thoughts on these subjects were articulated at the Julian Jaynes conferences in PEI. |

Reviews
“Many thanks for putting the conference together. It was a highlight of the year, and put me in touch with many ideas and much information I am stimulated by.” — Bruce Evans, Baton Rouge, LA
“The recent Julian Jaynes Society Conference on Consciousness and Bicameral Studies was an unprecedented success. Participants from around the world presented new ideas and insights into the problems of consciousness and its origins. Discussions continued through breaks and lunch. It was impossible not to learn something, and everyone was receptive to each other’s ideas. There were many academic disciplines represented, and people freely shared their insights from their different fields.” — John Hainly, Southern University, LA
“This was the first conference I had ever gone to, so I didn’t know what to expect, but everything was organized very well, and I had a great time listening to all of the interesting presentations. I was pleasantly surprised by the diversity of the presenters, and their presentations, which covered a wide-range of topics. Most of all, I enjoyed meeting open-minded people from all over the world — hopefully many of the people I met will be friends for life.” — Matt McClendon, Somerset, KY
“I thought the conference was exceptionally well organized, surpassing my expectations. The range and grouping of the speakers made each day a fascinating intellectual adventure. I met so many interesting people and look forward to further opportunities to get together and/or communicate via Facebook, e-mail, etc. Dinner conversations were amazing adventures in themselves, so beyond the pale of normal discourse, and fun! Thanks for bringing us together!” — Carole Brooks Platt, Houston, TX
“The conference was a pleasure to attend and an honor to participate in.” — John Schedel, Medaille College, NY
“Thank you again for the spectacular conference.” — Jeff Tkachuk, Los Angeles, CA
