Not OP but yes an actual scientist would like it. It’s more about the ways in which cultures over time turn to the supernatural to explain something that has a scientific explanation.

It like a lot of Big Science books (Guns, Germs, and Steel, Sapiens), has more than a few “just so” stories, but i you look past that, it’s a very valuable book teaching you to look at things you don’t understand critically and why we as a society, often fail at this.
