Life on earth began in the ocean and then moved onto the land. But one
precocious line of mammals returned to the sea. How has water shaped the
minds, the bodies, the sensory worlds and the societies of whales? Our
guide is
Jeff Warren. Jeff is an explorer of
consciousness in its various forms. In 2007 he published a book called
The Head Trip: Adventures on The Wheel of Consciousness. He's
spent the past 2 years thinking about whales and dolphins, visiting
researchers in their labs and in their boats around North America and
the Caribbean to find out what they're learning about mind, culture and
society in the ocean.
