I bought this to supplement our homeschooling science program because it is next to impossible to find a homeschooling science curriculum that will encompass human evolution and/or the earth's geological inception.

This book has not been very helpful. The illustrations do not create a time map to show how human evolution progressed through time. In fact, the illustrations are not particularly helpful. The text is too wordy, and not the best at describing the evolutionary process to lower and mid-grade children.

This book does, however, cover pretty thoroughly the migration and development of humans over the world. But still, I do not believe that it handles the information in a way that is inticing to children or even adults as it had me yawning--and this is the type of information that I usually devour!
