The subtle axiomatic falsehood which underlies Carr's philosophical assumptions are becoming more apparent. E.g., he just called Darwin's specious On the Origins of Species and Carson's destructive Silent Spring "momentous intellectual achievements." Oy.
However, the general neurological thesis remains interesting at this point.

This book looked so regal, staid, and promising. But assumption and arrogance constitute the tone so far. If this "historian" keeps on applying the word "undoubtedly" to topics of ambiguous anthropology from five THOUSAND years ago, I might lose all respect for this book.
