I didn't realize this was almost a 50 years old work when I bought it, so I wouldn't really say it has a lot to say rn??? Specially since there's a lot of doubt and maybes around the ideas and explanations that the author gathered. But it was an interesting read to see where they were at 50 yrs ago and where the study is rn.
