Pandora's Seed: Why The Hunter-gatherer Holds The Key To Our Survival | Spencer Wells

Somewhat disappointing.

3 weeks ago

Pandora's Seed: Why the Hunter-Gatherer Holds the Key to Our Survival by Spencer Wells was somewhat disappointing. The early part of the book does a good job summarizing recent research in human genetics. Its strength is Wells expertise on using genetics to unravel human evolution and prehistoric migration. Unfortunately,the book falls apart in the final third and his travel anecotes were mostly neither compelling nor to the point. read review
