Reader’s Note
6 out of 10
In Spanish it's called De animales a dioses, a much better title. The first third, fine. After that he's explaining to me things which I already knew, and other things which I don't think he knows either. Has anyone checked the middle third?

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 10@kepler22b

Everyone told me this was history. It's a confident essay about history, a different object entirely, and it keeps getting graded on the wrong curve.4 out of 10@mx_marginalia
