Book Reviews of Mapping Human History: Genes, Race, and Our Common Origins
Book Review: A Great Read for an Amature Scientist
Summary: 4 Stars
I picked up this book by chance at the bookstore and would highly reccomend it to people who are interested in learning about the scientific roots of races. First, I found the writing to be fairly simple and at least for me, easy to understand. I find that picking up a scientific book can leave me searching for terms on the web but that was not the case with this book. I was at times bogged down by some weighed down language but none the less a very good book. I felt that the author gave a very well "mapped" out depiction of how we evolved as humans. Overall, i would reccomend this book, especially to anyone who is an enthusiast of human origin.
