### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great content but poorly proofread
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2017*

I enjoyed the content and the new information (for me) on the celestial causes of climate oscillations and their clear links with phases of rapid evolution was illuminating. However, I found the poor level of proofreading and disconcerting lapses in grammar (e.g., lurching from the present to the past tense within sentences) annoying. Some of the spelling mistakes were awful and should have been picked up immediately (e.g., "allopaty" for "allopatry"). I would have knocked off a grade at least if marking this as a graduate student assignment. Sloppy work!

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Not a bad book, far from the best on Homo evolution.
  

*by T***Z on Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2017*

Never fully answers the hypothesis proposed, covers the general geology of the East African Rift and some of it's effects, but doesn't get over the finish line of culture/tribal impacts. There are several better books homo evolution, I was drawn in by the hypothesis and left without the answers I was led to expect. A single proof reading would have found many errors in the text.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Quite an enjoyable read
  

*by R***T on Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2020*

A short an interesting read. I enjoyed his perspective of human evolution, which seems well-supported by evidence in this book. It can get a bit dry at times, hence the 4 stars, but that's a relatively minor issue I had. This one will stay on my bookshelf.
