And maybe it's enough to content yourself just knowing the book is out there? ... I guess I worry about overselling it. I liked it, I did. And I thought it was good. But it has its weak moments. There's a bunch of stuff about evolutionary biology and how other primates behave that I just sailed right by thinking IRRELEVANT and ANNOYING (I guess because I think we do in spades with evolutionary biology what that NYT article you linked to talked about with the Neanderthals). And there are other small quirks that I didn't love. But I did think it was a good introduction--or maybe, more honestly, I could say, it sure made me feel well introduced--and I was *really* happy to read the various case histories.
