A review by kimball_hansen
A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived: The Human Story Retold Through Our Genes by Adam Rutherford

2.0

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.
