5.0 out of 5 stars SUPER!, May 18, 2001
By Adam Nagorski (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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!
