Jack, read it only if you have nothing else on your list. It’s okay, but the whole book is much longer than it needed to be. And I don’t recall anything specific on neuroscience, but it does cover the evolution of our medical knowledge. IIRC, in medicine it takes about ninety years for the yearly contributions to double. In genetics it was about thirty years, one third of the time when compared to medicine.
Oh, I misunderstood your question, Jack. No, it doesn’t talk about how we evolve to interpret new knowledge (if that’s what you meant by neuroscience), bur rather it discusses the “science of science.” And, of course, Galton is the hero in the book–letting you know just in case you are as much of Galton’s fan as I am. Francis Galton is my god, and a part of the holy trinity along with Darwin and Aristotle. I worship all three of them.
