Excellent book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book is excellent. I have a decent general-science background, with no prior exposure to anthropology or paleontology, and I found this completely accessible. I'd even go further and say that this book was very well written. Whoever trashed it in his review must be a Creationist trying to spread seeds of doubt. Aside from the quality of the writing, Msr. Creationist lambasts Boaz for a lack of objectivity. I find this absurd, since the goal of the book is to present conflicting theories about human evolution and the arguments for each. His goal, as I took it, appears to be acquainting the reader with the fundamental evolutionary processes and the mechanisms by which climate and ecology would have most likely influenced/driven our emergence from apes. It's a great book - well worth reading.

Insights Into Possible Factors In Human Evolution
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
The above editorial reviews of Eco Homo are all more insightful and articulate than any review that I can write so what can I address that the others don't? A reason why you should read this book. "Did you ever wonder why people walk upright? Why some people have dark skin and some have light? Why our early ancestors left Africa and started wandering the globe?..." The author examines the forces that shaped humanity and writes interestingly about his conclusions and methods for reaching them.
