> Pop science books seem to fall into "feel good" category of products. Most people buy them not because they are providing easily accessible scientific knowledge, but because these books make people feel smart Orrrr maybe people just find them interesting? I thought Sapiens is a terrific book. I don't really care if every detail in there is down with the latest scientific research, I don't think that's what the book is trying to do anyway. Sure 100% accuracy would have been nice but I prefer the author to focus on his main message and effort to tell the history (and present/future) of humans even if it means sacrificing 100% accuracy.
