Homo Sapiens Rediscovered: The Scientific Revolution Rewriting Our Origins by Paul Pettitt

informative

4.0

Homo Sapiens Rediscovered is an excellent read for anyone with an interest in human history, bioarchaeology, or anthropology. The history of mankind is presented in easy to understand language, and Pettitt provides an adequate background for each topic that is covered throughout the book. 

I was provided with a copy of Homo Sapiens Rediscovered on audio by Netgalley and Tantor Audio. The narrator is excellent, and the cadence is almost conversational throughout. I feel like Pettitt did a great job not overwhelming the reader with too much heavy information at once. 

This book takes you on a journey through human prehistory, human ancestors, DNA analysis of ancient humans, early tool use, and a number of more recent eras of human history. This was a very easy read, and I highly recommend.
