We are not like other animals, yet we evolved from the same process. We are also formed in a cultural developing bath. Evolution has created a mechanism where a human being can be built from a single cell.I strongly recommend this to scholars and students in and discipline. It’s like taking a step back from looking at individual trees and seeing the great story of the human forest. It provides a perfect framework for anyone who wants to understand where we came from and where we might be heading. It is based on our best scientific knowledge and focuses on the evolutionary triad of genes, environment, and culture. Unlike most history books that focus on one era, this book has it all.
