The Inexplicable Universe: Unsolved Mysteries

This wasn't really a book, but some lectures. Listening reminded me of reading to Michio Kaku's book. I love Neil deGrasse Tyson's grasp of science and how well he can explain it. One thing that stuck out to me was how he asked about what we would even have in common with aliens? He explained how chimpanzees were more than 99% identical, genetically, to humans, but we don't have deep, meaningful exchanges with them, how could a completely, evolutionarily distinct alien creature have anything in common with us?
