    For those interested in brain evolution and practical neuroscience/human behavior:

    Carl Sagan's books "Broca's Brain" and "The Dragons of Eden" from the 70's-80's are good initial reads on brain composition and evolution. The Sapolsky lectures and books are also great resources.

      I'd imagine the science from the 80s is very dated now, no matter how good the book is.
