Origins: How Earth’s History Shaped Human History, Lewis Dartnell (4.0)

The author nicely puts together many things we may have heard or read in the past about how the earth’s physical features over millions of years have impacted life in general and human life in particular. Sometimes a bit dry, I suggest reading each chapter in one sitting to get the most impact. There were nuggets of important information throughout the book. My main comment is that many things were stated as fact that are still, in fact, theory. As we gain new techniques, we learn things about our past and I expect that to continue. I will be curious to see what might change in this book in 25-50 years’ time.
