I think the one thing this book does really well is emphasize that early man was little different than any other species of animal. There are some really interesting early history facts, but I do not kike that the author did not cite his sources. Instead, he provides his sources on a separate website you must go and find if you care to learn more or gain context.
I did not care for some real obvious misogyny and racism. It is very obvious that the author has issues with women and it is not healthy. After I read this book, I found out the author was gay and that does explain his obvious revulsion, but he offers up his biases and opinions as facts. There were a lot of points he was arguing that seemed like opinions rather than facts, but, because of the lack of citations, I have no idea if they have even the slightest basis in truth.
Still, there were several interesting topics and I would say it is an interesting read when he is sticking to actual history. I'd say it is a good starting point from which to go to more in-depth writings on the subject.
