Books like Behave by Robert Sapolsky are the reason I love non-fiction (OK. To be fair, I actually love all genres for different reasons :-).)  These intellectual reads gets the brain working with evidence based information that you can soak up and think about on a deeper level.  This book is HUGE in its scope and dense in its content.  While not out of reach, a basic understanding or interest in science would certainly assist in the reading experience.  Sapolsky has taken potentially complex data and translated it into a palatable book....  for the most part.  There were times were I did feel like I was reading a textbook with the about of info dumping (mostly research articles) it contained.  Nevertheless, it did flow well and I found it so intersting.  I absolutely wanted to keep turning the pages.
