"Julian Jaynes (February 27, 1920 – November 21, 1997) was an American
psychologist, best known for his book The Origin of Consciousness in
the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind (1976), in which he argued that
ancient peoples were not conscious (did not possess an introspective
mind-space), but instead had their behavior directed by auditory
hallucinations, which they interpreted as the voice of their chief,
king, or the gods. Jaynes argued that the change from this mode of
thinking (which he called the bicameral mind) to consciousness
occurred over a period of centuries about three thousand years ago and
was based on the development of metaphorical language and the
emergence of writing."
"At one time, human nature was split in two, an executive part called
a god, and a follower part called a man. Neither part was Consciously
aware.â€
