SUPER!,
By NY Dad (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Biology, Evolution, and Human Nature (Hardcover)
A fascinating overview of evolution, and of the evolution of human behavior and society in particular. The writing is accessible to everybody, and I highly recommend it to all people regardless of their scientific background. Well-written, with many helpful charts, etc. A real eye-opener!
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Biology, Evolution, and Human Nature (Hardcover)
It's a good book. It allows you to feel as if you are a part of the picture instead of having a bunch of information told to you. It was easy to learn by being able to relate. I wish the pictures had more color. I don't think you're ever too old to like pictures in an academic book. But overall, I love the format of the book.
