review 1: This is a great book for anyone even mildly interested in understanding human behavior or evolution. I recommended it to 2 non-science friends and they have definately enjoyed it in both book form and audio. There are many real applications and scenarios in this book which would help anyone understand even the more complex ideas. The only drawback was that there is so much info and it is so interesting, it took longer than normal for me to read it.
review 2: Interesting subject, although I much prefer Desmond Morris' purely scientific take on the human species. Holmes interjects too much of her own thought and opinion, and throughout the read I couldn't decide if she was objectively studying the human species or merely criticizing those who differed from her... more. This book is nowhere near the level of professionalism exhibited by Desmond Morris and Diane Ackerman. Anthropology is no place for snarkiness and haughty insight. less
