Seymour W. Itzkoff is one of the world's leading intelligence
researchers. His exciting new book Our Unfinished Biological
Revolution offers a bold and highly original new study on the
evolution of human intelligence from the origin of life to our
times. With the help of evolutionary theory, Itzkoff explains the
nature of human intelligence as we know it today. Most importantly,
it demonstrates that evolution led to the rise of what intelligence
researchers call the general intelligence factor: the human ability
to plan ahead and solve problems for which natural selection did
not prepare us. The book also argues that humans vary in
intelligence (as with all traits shaped by Darwinian evolution),
and hence in their propensity to think abstractly and anticipate
long-term consequences of their actions. Our Unfinished Biological
Revolution explores the social implications of these two factors as
they unfold in modern technological societies, in which
intelligence plays an increasingly important role. Finally, the
book argues that human intelligence may offer our best hope in
solving the daunting problems of the present era?including
population growth, the exhaustion of natural resources, and the
rise of simplistic and devastating ideologies.
