zizabeph 's review for:
The Humans Who Went Extinct: Why Neanderthals Died Out and We Survived
by Clive Finlayson
I actually couldn't finish this book. I kept getting caught by the author on one page deploring other scientists' narrow sightedness in not accepting new theories, and in the next chapter explaining all the reasons why it was absolutely impossible that humans and Neanderthals interbred. granted, the strongest evidence showing Neanderthal genes in Europeans came soon after this book was published, but the signs were there in 2009. the author's ego, as well as his habit of jumping forward and backward in time so much as to lose any consistent narrative, made this book disappointingly unreadable.
