First how sapiens and the rest of creation evolved through natural selection. Next intelligent design became a factor as human beings bred various creatures (e.g. chickens) and vegetables (e.g. corn) to develop certain factors. What is new relates to the story of Frankenstein and the possibility of engineering human spirits and bodies. Considers the Gilgamesh Project-- the quest for immortality and the past, current and future efforts to expand the life of humans.

Ambitous interesting and entertaining but sometimes, perhaps inevitably slip over into platitudes or over-simplifications - which can be quite hilarious. Worthwhile in any event.

Explains a lot. Very good book.

I won't get too much into it. It is possible that part of that is correct. The book follows the progressive agenda.
Shallow and predictable.
