Thought it would never end. Slow read, ok ending.
I've been slowed down in a few spots by the French names and places and when the philosophy gets deeper than I care about, but I'm mostly loving this book. I learned about Catholic history. I learned that those on the "pro" side of religion aren't the only ones who kill for their beliefs. I learned that French scientists let their friend scientists perform autopsies on them after they die just to see what else could be learned. Right now I'm reading about their debates and studies of the brain. Does size indicate intelligence? Broca located the speech center of the brain and when he died they carved his name on what is now called Broca's Area. They are debating whether the brain and mind are the same thing and all their religious history is hanging on the answer.
