Why would it mention Jaynes' stuff? I was under the impression that it
has been pretty thoroughly discredited. I could be wrong, though - I
just remember talking about it with some psychologists at some point.

A good book about the mind is Pinker's _How the Mind Works_. Lots of
good evolutionary psychology explanations for things. For whatever
reason, these often ring true for me.
