Evolution by Stephen Baxter
4.0
A collection of short stories chronicling the evolution of man from the earliest primates to 100 million years into the future. This one was a roller coaster. Some stories were gripping and oddly emotional, others were disturbing and heavy. One story was just downright boring (I'm looking at you, Romans). This book evoked a lot of strong emotions from me.
I often found myself skimming past the abundant sex scenes in abject horror. There were at least 30 in this 575-page book, and while I understand it's a natural part of life and necessary to evolution, I reeeeeally did not need so many graphic descriptions of genitals.
