Book Reviews of The Dragons of Eden: Speculations on the Evolution of Human Intelligence
Book Review: Great Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book to read. A lot of it is speculation. The decision is left up to the reader. Learned a lot of things about evolution in general. I'd say it's definitely a must read if your a biology fan.
Summary of The Dragons of Eden: Speculations on the Evolution of Human Intelligence
Dr. Carl Sagan takes us on a great reading adventure, offering his vivid and startling insight into the brain of man and beast, the origin of human intelligence, the function of our most haunting legends--and their amazing links to recent discoveries."A history of the human brain from the big bang, fifteen billion years ago, to the day before yesterday...It's a delight."
