Title: Disjointed
Product review: I have been waiting for this book to come out for over 18 months. I am a big Ian Tattersall fan and appreciate the way he has been able over the years to make the study of human evolution and fossil man accessible to the lay reader in such books as The Fossil Trail,The Monkey in the Mirror, and Becoming Human. Im my opinion these books give a much better view of the current state of paleoanthropology and are better written. I found numerous typos in the text as well as the illustrations which were poorly put together. The sections on genetics were basic and often redundant- Wade's Before the Dawn explains these areas much better. Other books on human origins which I would recommend instead include Jordan's Neanderthal, Gibbon's The First Human, and Johanson's From Lucy to Language
