 Amazon.ca: Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors: Books: Carl Sagan,Ann Druyan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
In a leisurely, lyrical meditation on the roughly four-million-year span since life dawned on Earth, Sagan and Druyan (Comet) argue that territoriality, xenophobia, ethnocentrism, occasional outbreeding and a preference for small, semi-isolated groups are elements in a survival strategy common to many species, including Homo sapiens.
Druyan and Sagan write that we are like babies left in a basket on a doorstep, never knowing and always wondering what our ancestry is. For me, the most influential of the book's explorations involve the study of the levels of consciousness in other animals, aside from the human animal.
Sagan and Druyan were a great team and I for one miss Carl Sagan and his wise approach in explaining science.
