Dragons of Eden: Speculations on the Evolution of Human Intelligence | Carl Sagan
Pickpick

First time reading Sagan!! Loved his writing. His humor is dry and hilarious and I love when he slips it into an incredibly complex paragraph/explanation. His easy flow of presenting fact and his unabridged opinion on fact is fun to read. However, I think I need to give up on trying to read books about brains. It‘s hard for me! This book had wonderful parts and I feel like I learned a lot about the development and differences

sarahlandis in brains across millennia and species, but once we got into talking about future brains? I‘m lost lol.

Dry. I love intelligence and intellectual reads but this is beyond dry. Good luck to anyone getting through it. As of right now, I am gonna bail. Maybe one day when I am older and more attentive...

Jamesmelvinmitchell Being older doesn't help with this book. I bailed. 8y
CouchCrewChief @Jamesmelvinmitchell Well thankfully I wasn't the only one. I like the idea of this kind of how I like the idea of salmon. I really really want to like it, but I just don't. 8y
