This is an excellent overview of the evolution of biological intelligence and the relationships to the progress of artificial intelligence so far, covering the five major stages of steering, reinforcing, simulating, mentalizing, and language. Perhaps the major takeaway is the hierarchical structure of different brain components specializing in different tasks, analogous to the computational higher-order and global workspace theories as surveyed in https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.08708.
The text is very easy to follow and the illustrations are nice to look at.
