Jury Razumau's review of The Dragons of Eden by Carl Sagan

It feels like non-fiction got a lot better since then at exploiting the curiosity gaps.2. We learned a lot about neuroscience since 1977, but still moved in the same direction, so the book is still correct about many things at large, although details are often important.3. Contrary to [a:Geoffrey Miller 15428 Geoffrey Miller https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1442358111p2/15428.jpg], who tells that evolutionary psychology was extremely controversial at the moment (just two years after the Sociobiology release—which, by the way, is not mentioned at all), here's a Pulitzer winner that has a lot about how the human mind was defined by its evolution (although, admittedly, without many crucial details).4. A good book to learn something about the history of the area. If you want to learn about evolutionary psychology itself, you'd be better off starting elsewhere.
