This is a MUST read book. I keep multiple copies of this book on hand to give as gifts. It always gets "Oh WOW, I never knew that …" reviews from everyone. The author makes connections that only come from years and year in the field. Example: Q: why no beasts of burden in Africa? A: impossible to lasso a zebra due to the flick response in its neck. Looks like a horse, smells like a horse, no can catch to hook to a plough.

I haven't had time to read this book yet, but it sounded interesting. I also bought copies for 3 if my son's whom also haven't read it yet, because I haven't mailed them to them yet. The books were clearly used, but I like that, I'm hoping the guys will enjoy it!

Love this book. I have literally bought dozens to give away. I have traveled to many remote locations on Earth, spent time with indigenous people, most notably a cargo cult in Vanuatu. They want to know the answer to the question why did weastern Europeans concur?

A librarian friend of mine recommended this book. I enjoyed reading this book, and I was surprised by the ideas of the book. The author takes you on a whirlwind tour of when we went from hunter-gatherers to farming and even why we did. I thoroughly loved the book and recommend it to anyone who wants to think of history in a more correct way. I would give it 6 stars if possible.
