Book Reviews of Smithsonian Intimate Guide to Human Origins
Book Review: Thoughtful summary of human evolution
Summary: 5 Stars
When selecting this book to read, I was looking for something that summarized the current state of affairs (scientific) on evolution. I had just read a very interesting article in Newsweek (3/19/07) on evolution, and was seeking a quick and readable summary of the topic. This book delivered. The coverage of the topic was up-to-date and thorough, and the pages actually turned pretty fast.
Please take a look at some of the other reviews for a good description of the book's contents. For me, the book was exactly what I was looking for.
