Human Evolutionary Biology: Human Anatomy and Physiology from an Evolutionary Perspective
Editorial Reviews
Professor Lynn Margulis, Biology Department, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Massachusetts 01003, member of the National Academy of Sciences
Arndt von Hippel in his irreverent and entertaining text, Human Evolutionary Biology tells it like it is: Man's place in nature is far less exalted and supreme than our rapacious and greedy culture would have us believe. This dense, accessible fact-filled tome should be in the hands of anyone curious about people as animals - which means all of us. From the plethora of bodily fluids to the big bang and the nature of scientific truth, von Hippel informs, amuses and clarifies but never trivializes. His unillustrated text is totally distinguishable from... the biology textbook market by its fearless honesty, the directness of its tone and its replacement of glitz by meaning and content. This bibliophilic and charming author tells us what every citizen should know about his or her ancestry, body parts, biological affinities, predictable behaviors and taste. Tongue in cheek, it is the conglomeration of know-nothing obfuscating authors and editors who are the stone age presses while von Hippel represents the enlightenment. Buy it, read it, and pass it to your friends.
