A history of the human brain from the big bang, fifteen billion years ago, to the day before yesterday … It’s a delight. -The New York Times

How can I persuade every intelligent person to read this important and elegant book? … He talks about all kinds of things: the why of the pain of human childbirth … the reason for sleeping and dreaming … chimpanzees taught to communicate in deaf and dumb language … the definition of death … cloning … computers … intelligent life on other planets… . Fascinating … delightful. -The Boston Globe
In some lost Eden where dragons ruled, the foundations of our intelligence were laid… . Carl Sagan takes us on a guided tour of that lost land… . Fascinating … entertaining … masterful. -St. Louis Post-Dispatch
