Book Reviews of Bones, Brains and DNA: The Human Genome and Human Evolution

Book Review: Bringing the rating up
Summary: 5 Stars

This was a very good book for my seven year old who is interested in DNA and evolution. It obviously isn't written for a sixteen year old or an adult but that doesn't mean it deserves a negative rating. It is perfectly suited for the audience it is written for and should be judge accordingly!
