The old and the new ages of intelligence

[Rev. David Adam: „Ukryty geniusz. Pigułki na rozum, hakerzy mózgu i sekrety inteligencji”]

Summary/Abstract: The book entitled The Genius Within: Smart Pills, Brain Hacks and Adventures in Intelligence written by David Adam may easily be placed among the publications of acclaimed historians and science popularisers, such as Niall Ferguson, Yuval Noah Harari, and Bill Bryson. The author, a chemist by profession, takes the reader on a journey through the historical research on human intelligence. A lot of space in the book is, however, devoted to the presentation of some experiments that the author himself underwent. In the book’s conclusions, drawing of both the past and the present, the author claims that the future belongs to the neuroscience revolution.
