Recensioner i media

"An immediate classic" -- E. O. Wilson "A terrific story of competitive bickering, intrigue, damaged reputations and unacknowledged contributions- It is also wonderfully written- an ideal primer" Irish Times "Marvellous and comprehensive" Nature "There are few better introductions than this" New Scientist "A wonderful book- [which] bears favourable comparison with Jacob Bronowski's The Ascent of Man." Sunday Telegraph
