Synopsis "Los Dragones del Edén (in Spanish)"

Especulaciones sobre la evolución de la inteligencia humana. Los dragones del Edén es un libro mítico, publicado por vez primera en 1977 y galardonado con el premio Pulitzer. Casi 30 años después conserva toda su frescura e interés. En una impresionante ojeada panorámica que abarca desde la prehistoria hasta la época actual, Carl Sagan explica la evolución intelectual y mental del ser humano, habla de nuestros antepasados y sus antagonistas, describe la mecánica de nuestro cerebro y del de otros animales y dilucida el papel que han desempeñado las computadoras en el conocimiento de los mecanismos de nuestro cerebro y en el almacenamiento de la información en nuestra memoria. Hallamos también en estas fascinantes páginas, incursiones en los terrenos del mito y la leyenda, así como atrevidas especulaciones sobre los cauces por los que parece va a discurrir la evolución del hombre en el futuro.

Carl Edward Sagan (New York, November 9, 1934-Seattle, December 20, 1996) was an American astronomer, astrophysicist, cosmologist, astrobiologist, writer, and science communicator. Initially, he was an associate professor at Harvard University and later became the principal professor at Cornell University. At the latter, he was the first scientist to hold the David Duncan Professorship of Astronomy and Space Sciences, established in 1976, and was also the director of the Laboratory for Planetary Studies.

He was an advocate for scientific skeptical thinking and the scientific method, a pioneer of exobiology, and a promoter of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence through the SETI project. He encouraged sending messages aboard space probes, intended to inform potential extraterrestrial civilizations about human culture. Through his observations of the atmosphere of Venus, he was among the first scientists to study the greenhouse effect on a planetary scale.

Carl Sagan gained great popularity thanks to the award-winning documentary television series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage, produced in 1980, of which he was the narrator and co-author. It was the most-watched series in the history of American public television, with an audience of more than 500 million people in about 60 countries. To accompany the series, the book Cosmos was published. He also wrote the 1985 science fiction novel Contact, which was the basis for the eponymous 1997 film. His publications, which contain 595,000 articles, are archived in the Library of Congress.

He also published numerous scientific articles, and was the author, co-author, or editor of more than twenty popular science books. In 1978, he won the Pulitzer Prize for "General Non-Fiction Literature" for his book The Dragons of Eden.

Throughout his life, Sagan received numerous awards and honors for his work as a communicator of science and culture. Today, he is considered one of the most charismatic and influential science communicators, thanks to his ability to convey scientific ideas and cultural aspects to the general public with simplicity yet rigor.

Considerando que fue escrito hace más de 40 años, aún es material vigente. Carl Sagan siempre ha sido mi científico favorito, y sin dudarlo, recomiendo leerlo.

Una obra underground cuasi de culto, en donde Sagan sin la expertiz en biología, desentraña genialmente una visión alternativa a las preguntas ¿quiénes somos y de dónde venimos?
