Summary: I was FASCINATED, and I am not even in Anthropology
Comment: This book, despite the other student's words, was fantastic! I read it night after night FOR FUN! It was so interesting, with good pictures too, that I just picked it up off the shelf even though it had nothing to do with my major. I even gave it to my family to read too, especially since they are fundamentalist Christians who have difficulty even conceiving of the idea of human change and development over time. I was not disappointed with this book in the least....in fact, there were many nights I stayed up reading just as long as my eyes would stay open. Fascinting, comprehensive, thorough, and excellently written. BRAVO!

Summary: This book is a real pleasure...
Comment: ...if you're an academic masochist. I myself had the pleasure of sitting through this entire book for my Anthropology class (yes, I read the entire thing) and it wasn't the most pleasurable experience I've ever had. This book is dry and analytical with not even the occasional quasi-sense of humor that can be found in other school text. Speaking as a student, reading through a chapter took me at least twice as long as reading the same number of pages in other books, and I still had trouble remembering and understanding its concepts. I have to agree with the other reviewers that this book sucks the life out of the study of human beings.

Rating: 4
Summary: Boring but comprehensive
Comment: This is probably THE most boring physical textbook on the market, but it is also the most comprehensive. As an undergrad, I couldn't stay awake through more than a couple of paragraphs at a time. As an anthropologist, I can't think of a better text
to assign to my students. For the serious student, there simply is no way to avoid this book. It set the standard.
