KORTE INHOUD
Pocket, 271 pp., index, bibliography, illustrated
"The Dragons of Eden: Speculations on the Evolution of Human Intelligence" is a Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Carl Sagan, published in 1977. In this book, Sagan combines the fields of anthropology, evolutionary biology, psychology, and computer science to give a perspective on how human intelligence may have evolved. He explores the concept of the 'Triune Brain' proposed by neuroscientist Paul D. MacLean, which argues that the human brain is really three brains in one: the reptilian complex, the limbic system, and the neocortex. Sagan discusses the importance of each of these "brains" to the development of human intelligence and behavior. He also speculates on the future evolution of human intelligence, the possibility of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, and the implications of scientific advancements on society.
