Reviews for The Connected Species: How the Evolution of the Human Brain Can Save the World

Williams has presented an exceptional and comprehensive case outlining the necessity and limitations for learning in social settings. It's what makes us human; the capacity to do things for and with others. A powerful take away - communities need to be small enough for members to form positive relationships. Powerful message - well worth the read! -- Barbara J. Smith, PhD I couldn't put this book down at my first read and will be re-reading it many times. I highly recommend it as a compelling and riveting read, as well as wise and reassuring guidance for anyone who cares about the future of our species. -- Dr. Amanda Ferguson, psychologist, author of Life Works: Redsicover Yourself and Tranform Your Relationships and podcast presenter of Psych for Life
