What Members Thought
This is another decent read in the expanding popular literature of the material basis for human nature. Gazzaniga does a clear job of describing which areas in the human brain make it a unique organism unlike the brains of other animals, and he's careful not to outpace the science that supports his claims. It's not a real page-turner, but I think that's just because this discipline as a whole has yet to find a really gifted writer to broaden its appeal to a wider audience. Worth a look, though.

The author deals with diverse issues which make human unique. Many of the issues are quite deep and interesting. My main criticism is that the author tried to include too many things for each issue, and it requires some efforts for me to understand the flow of the story.
