    Seems to fall at the first hurdle.
  

*by N***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 October 2018*

I have only read the introduction and the first chapter, but already given up.The book seems to be premised around the notion of the Great Leap Forward.  However three recent discoveries would seem to seriously call into question this notion; Pre-Clovis occupation 14,550 years ago at the Page-Ladson site, Florida; U-Th dating of carbonate crusts has revealed Neandertal origin of Iberian cave art;  a bone fragment from Denisova Cave (Russia) shows that it came from an individual who had a Neanderthal mother and a Denisovan father.I will happily read the rest of the book, when the author reviews his theories in the light of these recent developments.

    Tedious love letter to New Guinea
  

*by M***O on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 July 2018*

Having read Sapiens with its great anthropological history of man I wanted more of the same. I got this based on other reviews and am disappointed. It starts with a man who has obviously been to New Guinea and felt a connection with the people there. This connection continues throughout what is an impenetrable book. The tiny writing and boring recounting of human history from A to J then back to D is like a Tarantino film. I couldn’t tell you if it ties together or not in the end as I kept skipping forward to the next chapter. Don’t believe the hype.

    The text is tiny
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 November 2018*

With apologies to the author, whose book I really want to read. It just isn’t possible to open this (B-format) edition without the knowledge that you’ll have a migraine after 5 pages. The publisher has clearly taken a cost-saving decision to shrink the pages from the hardback rather than reflow the text. Very disappointed.
