Many of the familiar aspects of modern life are no more than a century or two old, yet our deep social structures and skills were in large measure developed many millennia ago. This book wonders what the darkest recesses of our past can teach us about our future.

nicht was ich erwartet habe; viel dekonstruktivistisches, gender theoretisches kulturell relativistisches und anderweitig politisch korrektes Geschwafel. Vieles davon vielleicht nicht falsch, aber insgesamt zu schwammig. Und gleich auf den ersten Seiten ein richtiger Klopper: was es mit der Dichteanomalie des Wassers auf sich hat, scheint dem Autoren nicht klar zu sein.
