As befits authors of books on intelligence, Spanish university professor and laboratory researcher Manuel Martín-Loeches is not only intelligent and scientifically competent, but also wise. Thanks to his storytelling skills, we can grasp the complex structure of our brain—and understand how we've managed to advance further than all our evolutionary relatives and neighbors, from octopuses to Neanderthals.

However, after describing the phenomenally developed intelligence of Homo sapiens and convincing the reader that we are truly the best, the author arrives at a paradoxical conclusion: by default, our brain is geared toward pleasure, not the search for "truth," and is often so intelligent only to deceive itself.
