Book Reviews of Ice Age Mammals of North America
Book Review: out of date
Summary: 2 Stars
The front cover of this book looks very good but the inside content is out of date. When I was truning the pages I immediately saw a lot of mistakes. At the fist pages the author says one day it will be possible to clone and resurrect mammoths from a modern elepanth's womb but today we now that it is impossible because the difference between mammooths and elepahtns are so large like between humans and apes. Secondly the book uses family trees, but today we use modern cladistic system to define relationships between species. (i should have known this because the book was released in 2002....) To compare it with contemporary books I found it a little bit boring, and doesnt have enough images inside it. It has a part that presents the species lived in the ice age, I think the author should have written about much more species. And a lot of pages describe modern relatives of distinct species which I think is unnecessary.
