Max Bennett is an AI researcher and entrepreneur. His book is not only an excellent overview of the major events of our evolution, but also an exposition of the author's idea that brain development did not occur smoothly, but through several turning points.

Bennett identifies five major leaps:
- valence in early animals (approach/avoidance);
- reinforcement learning in vertebrates (dopamine-driven trial-and-error);
- modeling in mammals (cortical models of the world, replication in the hippocampus);
- mentalization in primates (theory of mind and social strategy);
- language in humans (symbols and compositionality).
