DID NOT FINISH: 20%

fascinating topic but something about the narration rubbed me the wrong way, not sure if it was the author, the audiobook, or both 
informative inspiring medium-paced

What are humans adapted to? Daniel Lieberman compiled a great number of sources in order to find an answer to this question. The result is "The story of human body".

It is a very well written, beautifully presented and thoroughly researched book. At times information dense and challenging, it is never too complex for the reader. I thought that perhaps sometimes it could be more engaging, but I enjoyed it tremendously nonetheless.

I highly recommend this book, particularly if you are fascinated by human body, evolution or human health.
