Ok. I have one. This is an oldie, but a really goodie.
CONSCIOUSNESS: THE END OF FALSE AUTHORITY -- by Frank R. Wallace

Disclaimer: I'm not all-in on Jaynes. Some of these numbers are speculative. That is not the point. Regardless of Jaynes' chronological accuracy or inaccuracy, the points he's making about the hemispheres and the Neo-cortex are fascinating and revealing.
Wallace does an incredible breakdown (get it?) here of Julian Jaynes's book, The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. This article won the first place National Writer's Club Award as best nonfiction article of 1980.

Ayo @herschel - meant to get back to this sooner. Wanted to say the same thing as I did for Lux's comment - I think this missed visibility because it was a comment instead of a post, so it'd be awesome if you wanted to share it as a new post in the ~FiresidePhilosophy territory! There's some thought provoking stuff here, I bet others would definitely find it interesting.
