Reader’s Note
9 out of 10
the spider chapters are extraordinary, actual evolutionary reasoning generation by generation. the human chapters are a dull frame holding them up. i'd read the version that was only spiders.

It's spiders! Nobody warned me it was spiders! I've come round to the spiders (I love them now, obviously) but the human chapters dragged and I definitely skimmed one.7 out of 10@tinyapartmentbigtbr

readable, broad, sourced thin. why is a book this confident about the cognitive revolution so vague in the notes? fine as a way in / not a reference.7 out of 10Sapiens
