Homo Sapiens Rediscovered: The Scientific Revolution Rewriting Our Origins

The strong points of the book are its conversational tone, clear explanations, and the author’s anecdotes and personal history. There was also some clever wording and some humor. But after a while, the book just became a series of community names and approximate dates (years before present) and everything jumbled together in my mind. The narration, however, was excellent. The narrator was able to communicate the humor expressed by the author and was even able to make clear what were parenthetical remarks. Thank you to Netgalley and Tantor Audio for the audio review copy.

"Homo Sapiens Rediscovered" provides a fascinating and insightful look at our origins, as well as the ongoing efforts to uncover our history. Pettitt's writing style is both engaging and informative, making the book accessible to interested laypeople without sacrificing important details. This book is highly recommended for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of what it means to be human.
