A neuroscience book that presents the brain as an evolved, improvised system rather than a cleanly engineered machine.

My note
What an eye-opener. The book argues that the brain is not well designed at all. It is a kludge. It explores why religion appears across human cultures and other provocative ideas. I love it when authors go out on a limb.
