Jonathan Silvertown has written a thoroughly entertaining and erudite extended skit on the evolution of humour.Fiona Capp, Sydney Morning Herald
In The Comedy of Error, Professor Silvertown deploys many of the world’s oldest jokes, coupled with some of our latest science, to unravel the similarities and differences in humour across cultures … [A] clever piece of work.

This book is funny … I think most people, male or female, will find this book amusing.
