Rezensionen
"This impressive book serves as a window into human history through the lens of teeth and diet. Ungar's seamless narrative brings bits of bone and teeth to life, and does so against a vivid backdrop in which paleoanthropologists arrive at their conclusions about why, how, and what we eat. This book is a pleasure to read - Ungar has that rare gift of engaging us through personal insight while simultaneously explaining complex scientific principles." - Joanna E. Lambert, University of Colorado, Boulder
