Carl Sagan - Cosmos 11 - The Persistence of Memory

submitted by mauz15

1 decade 5 years 11 months 1 week ago

Dr. Sagan discusses the human brain, guiding the viewer through a maze of a brain model to demonstrate the intricacies of thought. He compares the intelligence of a whale, and offers an explanation of how all the information needed for survival is stored in human genetic material and brains, and in books.
