Critical Praise for Earlier Volumes in 'The Evolution of Human Intelligence: a Theory in Four Parts', Truly eloquent...hard headed...There is a fresh wind blowing through the social sciences, and Itzkoff is playing an important part in seeing to it that the wind does not die down. (Hans Eysenck, Personality and Individual Differences) Enormously ambitious...fascinating...gripping...controversial...a remarkably original guide to the present state of knowledge about human brain power. (Daniel Seligmann, Fortune) Stimulating...Itzkoff has read widely and thought deeply. (Ernst Mayr, Harvard University) This book has a voice, a strong voice which bespeaks a concern. (Explorations / College Press) I recommend Seymour Itzkoff's volumes as cornerstones for the library of anyone interested in a perfect or imperfect evolution. (Russell Gardner, The ASCAP Newsletter)
