The Incredible Unlikeliness of Being: Evolution and the Making of Us by Alice Roberts

informative

4.0

The information is terrific, maybe exceptional. The tone is great. The structure, ok. Anatomy has a lot of parts, and Roberts wants to cover everything. So chapters have a tendency to go on and on. But if you're ok tolerating that, you will be rewarded with ideas on the human spine, brain, the muscles we only use when run, the human trick on turning our palms up (other primates can't do that, and certainly not, say, you dog), all the steps it takes to throw, and so on. Not to mention, all the evolutionary theory behind this all.
