Rezensionen

"Elephants have bigger brains than humans. So why are we more intelligent? Suzana Herculano-Houzel tells how her ability to count neurons gives us a radical new understanding of brain biology. Her science is convincing, fun, and inspiring. The Human Advantage is a game-changer." - Richard Wrangham, author of Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human
