Broughton, R. S. (2011) Psi and evolution: will an evolutionary perspective help us understand how extrasensory perception works?

| Abstract: | This presentation explores the idea that anomalous intuition (precognition) has an evolutionary basis, closely tied to our ability to 'mentally time travel', an evolutionarily adaptive capability, possibly unique to humans, that facilitates our ability to plan for the future |
| Uncontrolled Keywords: | Intuition, anomalous intuition, precognition, evolution, mental time travel |
