==Personal==

==Status==
I don't own this book, but I listened to the audio book read by Emily Woo Zeller.

==Review==
===Good===
* Each chapter is filled with interesting and useful information. The chapter on cannibalism dispels a lot of myths about the practice, the chapter on the first humans includes some of the more recent discoveries for potential candidates, the chapter on race is very eye-opening, etc.
* The writing style is enjoyable, and the format, essays about a specific topic, rather than a list of facts or the entire history of the field, was easily digestible.

===Bad===
* Some of the comments the author makes about things outside of her area of expertise didn't sound right to me. I didn't write them down as I listened to the audio book, but there were at least two.

===Ugly===
* Nothing.
