This novel is Vonnegut's take on Darwin's theory of evolution, human nature, and other topics. The novel makes mention of the problems associated with "the oversized human brain," which Vonnegut argues as the source for a lot of humanity's problems -- humans lie, cheat, and fight one another because their advanced brains give them the capacity to do so -- and the ancestors of the ''Baha da Darwin'' survivors lose this evolution, which the narrator (and Vonnegut) sees as a good thing.
