Title: Eurocentrist and waaayyyyy out of date
Review: Calling this a history of "mankind" was meant, tongue-in-cheek, as a joke, right? Any student of history perusing the Table of Content of this title would know how misappropriately titled and conceived this book was.That said, there are two principal criticisms one can level at it: first, who pens works on "mankind" anymore? -- that is, who still thinks that a book that leaves half of the human race out of its title and its content is in any sense comprehensive? The second, and even more serious, is, why write a history of Europe and call it a history of "mankind"? Why not just call it what it is? A History Europeans and leave it for others to write big history.
Is the review positive or negative?
