antoniossomatos's review against another edition
3.0
Até me custa dar só 3 ao livro, porque o que o separa do 4 tem menos a ver com o livro em si (que está bem escrito e versa sobre um tema interessante, embora a tradução não seja a melhor que já vi) e mais a ver com o facto de ter acabado por não ter aprendido muita coisa com ele. No entanto, recomendo plenamente a alguém que não esteja particularmente a par no que toca a genética/evolução humana, porque nesse aspecto, o livro atinge plenamente os objectivos.

This book had potential and started off at 4 stars. Then it slowly got worse and I was going to settle and award it 3.5 but the last hour of the book he really got retarded and made the most absurd claims with very flawed hypocritical logic. Idiot.
But, I could finally unlock the bonus content since Libby/Overdrive lacks that function. When you go to Tantor.com and type in the book's title then go to bonus content to retrieve it. Finally some justice in the world.
He says sapiens like sap from a tree. I don't like that.
Notes:
People of European decent can have milk as adults. Most other people can't.
Darwin married his cousin? The guy who wrote about evolution? How come there aren't more memes about this? He had 10 kids and most died early.
He says from a geneticist point of view that race doesn't exist (that doesn't mean racism doesn't exist, idiots, before you start rioting).
The word Alma in Hebrew, despite not having an English translation means young woman or woman that has not yet born a child.

As I am a geneticist myself I didn't really learn anything new but it was very interesting to read the whole 'story of our evolution' like this. Would definitely recommend
