Title: From Microbe to Bigfoot
Review: The final volume in Humans is a great read. It's broken down into four main areas. "The Hominid Fossil Record" is the longest topic, covering man / ape creatures found throughout the last 5 million years. Some material will be recognisable to readers of Cremo & Thompson's Forbidden Archaeology. "Human Genetics" is the most technical section, discussing DNA and other markers in human / ape populations. "Unrecognised Hominids" covers familiar ground - Bigfoot / Yetis, and other "wildmen" across the globe. Corliss is dismissive of virtually all of these cases, with the notable exception of the Yeti, which he confidently rates as real. The final chapter, "Human Interface Phenomena" is a hotch-potch of fascinating data presenting ideas as diverse as: Animal Sexual Assaults on Humans, DNA as a parasite, Avoidance of Wasp Stings by holding your breath (!), Human-Fish relationships (!!), and so much more!!!
