Evolution by Stephen Baxter
5.0
This is a great book. I've read it twice.
It starts out with dinosaurs, some real and some theoretical, but the story is mainly about human evolution. There are chapters about our ancestors and relatives from small rodent-like primates to neanderthals to the first monkeys transported to south america. Then comes the fun part, what happens to humans in the future.
A lot of people think evolution is a straight line from simple to more and more intelligent but intelligence is only one survival strategy and in this book humans in the future take much different paths.
