From homo erectus to homo sapiens in one generation
An excellent book for all ages written with humour about the changes necessary to become human. The central character - a contemplative homo erectus - leads his family group into humanity. The back story covers the changes necessary for this "upgrade": controlling fire, securing a safe home, living in groups, protection from attackers, etc. Makes you realise how far we've come.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Side splitting dry wit. A classic gem.
One of the funniest things I have read. First recommended by Terry Pratchett (God rest him) on the radio many years ago. Now buying it for a friend who appreciates dry wit and humor. A classic gem, simple but deep insight into the human condition set in our earliest days.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Bought on a recommendation from the great Sir Terry Parachett
Engaging, funny and different, Roy Lewis has written a clever take on one, individual prehistoric man. Loved the cover and feel of the book too (I'm a bit nerdy like that). Influenced the most terribly-missed Sir Terry and you can see why.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
