There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
However, the last essay was written in 1957 and the book is obviously outdated. He is referring to the dinosaurs as cold blooded slow reptiles, he gets the timing of the ice ages quite wrong, and much less was known about human evolution back then. We know now that the "Boskopoids" were most likely not a separate super-smart humanoid species but selected larger modern man skulls. I may be pedantic, but I think I would have enjoyed this book more if it had been written more recently.

Some of his thinking about how arrogant humans are insofar as having the world "under control" and "all figured out" is brilliant.
Recommended.
