Synopsis
Astronomer Carl Sagan was well known for his luminous and expansive investigations of the universe, but here he turns his insights inward to examine the evolution of human intelligence since the dawn of time. Sagan notes that it is no coincidence that humans have the highest brain-to-body mass ratio in the animal kingdom (dolphins are number two), as he argues that all of the astonishing capabilities of the human brain can be explained through biology and evolution. Winner of the 1978 Pulitzer Prize for general nonfiction.

) A brilliant writer with many good ideas. Unfortunately, his imagination can be understood as fact due to his convincing and charming appeal. Much of what Sagan discusses in this, dare I say, "non-fiction" novel is grossely out of date (1970s). And this I say on multiple lvels(evolutionary theory, computer tech etc...) Its starts off slow, getting a little more interesting near the end. He's probably embarrassed himself having ever written this piece. Its worth reading though...if you have the time to kill. But don't believe everything that you read though; there's alot of nonsensical informtion out there. Even uttered from the mouths of savants.
