Title: A fascinating read but somewhat dated
Product review: I found this book on my grandmother's bookshelf, and I couldn't put it down. It nows stays with me. The authors bring scientific reasoning to bear on some of the most enduring past mysteries - Who first crossed the oceans, where did homer's heroes come from, how has climate affected history, etc. - and give incredibly intriguing answers. Alas, many of them are not the latest science anymore, but many of these mysteries still remain unsolved and the arguments in the book still remain valid. All in all, it's worth reading simply for the intellectual joy of the speculations offered, regardless of their outdated status.
