Yes. The book review was written by someone less familiar with the research than I would have desired. The opening line I objected to was probably inserted by a Wall Street Journal editor, but the book under review is less impressive than, say,

http://www.amazon.com/The-Nature-of-Intelligence/dp/B000PY4U...

or

http://www.amazon.com/Nature-Paleolithic-Art-Dale-Guthrie/dp...

or other books I've read on closely related subjects. This is a subject that deserves a lot of books, but one might as well read the better books.
