Very interesting un-PC look at human evolution

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Fascinating book, you'd be ostracized if not jailed for writing this book in 2017. This is a book of serious scholarship with no PC filtering or influence.

Hobbits and Giants in the Closet

February 3, 2015

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Not commonly available , he wrote lot of my textbooks but is unPC and falling away . Nonetheless , a good source in this time of rapid discovery of new candidates for Homo species. Dennisovians and Hobbits ! Oh my ! How many more lurk in our genes and our wooded mountains ! A man ahead of his time and shoulders above present day anthro-apoligists.

Eric Laubergis

A monumental work-thorough exploration of human biodiversity

March 3, 2000

Format: Hardcover

Today we are bombarded,from schools to academia,from TV to politics,and last but not the least,by activities of different "Friends of Mankind" that are unanimous in their proclamation of Racial Diversity as myth,esspecialy with regard to Racial Diferences of moral,intelectual and behavioral nature.There are many titles devoted to racistic propaganda, but Coon's book was criticised because of its theory of differential branching of mankind and primitivness of particular races.All arguments against are false,because:main process in Biological World is branching,and once it starts to operate within species,it caries distinct population into creation of two or more non-interbreeding species.In the phase of racial differencies amoung modern Humans,although they are mutualy fertile,there is great deal of anatomical,biochemical,biophysical differencies as result of adaptation between interbreeding groups to the task set for them in process of survival and adaptation to always dynamic microecological milleau,thus producing set of biologic synergisms which are expressable as different levels in sociobiological performance amoung diverse Racial groups.This is something deducable almost on the speculative level,but it has been proven by series of empirical commparative observations.Primittivness of Australoids is today widely accepted among cientific community,and theory that some living populations have interbreeded with some of earlier Hominids seems more plausable because main trends in Human evolution during upper paleolithic are relatively well known,and some living Races show primitive evolutionary features,what is implicative of survival of hybrids because of combination of those features that are relevant for darwinistic survival.The fact that this book was very widely quoted within paleoanthropological circles in former communist countries-rigidly antirasistic ones-is best proof that it contains no falsification or speculations intented to spread false impression about certain living populations.This is classic among anthropologic literature,that must be investigated if ones ultimate goal is scientific comprehension of Racial reality.

I didn't find it necessary to reach for references 5 times per page; was a fast, thought provoking, and entertaining read from beginning to end. Interesting is the 8 million year "missing pages" prior to Australopithecus and the Pleistocene; his Oreopithecus seems to be one of 4 miracle arrivals. That gives us a cross-eyed headache when wondering, not why so little evidence has been found, but why zero evidence has been found. Maybe that big desert has something yet to be revealed under all that sand - s/b well preserved. Oh, not about race. It is about searching for the source/expansion of our species. Not different in content or goal than Spencer Wells, THE JOURNEY OF MAN - A Genetic Odyssey, also an excellent read if you're one of the 'amazed to be here on this very special planet.' Asimov said "we are matter contemplating itself."
