Summary
Scientists have long acknowledged the presence of two separate hemispheres in the human brain as well as the severe difference between the two. The significance of these differences however was not until recently properly understood. The scientific community formerly considered the right hemisphere of the brain inferior to the left. Author of the book A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future, Daniel H. Pink explained that the capabilities of the left hemisphere are everything that people expect in a brain. It is responsible for sequential reasoning, analysis, logic, and language- everything which is thought to separate humans from other species. The right hemisphere however is much more instinctive, thus scientists believed that humans had outgrown the purpose for it.
