    Great book for those who want to know where we (humans) came from and how we became what we are...
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2014*

I learned more about embryology and human evolution from this book than I did in 4 years of university (granted, I was a marine biology major) and in my years since as a biology teacher. This book is outstanding. It gets into pretty good detail, though not so much detail that the educated layperson should get bogged down. A decent biology background or a good healthy interest in biology is definitely helpful. If you have read and enjoyed such books as Neil Shubin's "Your Inner Fish" and/or Sean B. Carroll's "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" then this book will be right up your alley.I'll say this: I've never been particularly interested in human evolution, human physiology, and human development, mainly because so many biology courses I took were rather human centered (for example, when I got to physiology in high school biology classes, they were pretty much human systems only). Later years of university exposed me to so much other life on this planet and I was sick of human stuff, and that has rather stuck with me ever since. This book has rather changed that for me. It ties our evolution so neatly into that of so many other organisms by talking about how we are, how others are, and how the common ancestors may have been, that it has started a fire to my interest in how we came to be that was kindled by Neil Shubin's book.I recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in evolution, embryology, and development, human or otherwise, to anyone who is interested in the great tree of life and how we fit into it. I'll definitely be recommending this to my more motivated students and former students who have gone on to study biology and medicine in university.If you want to know how your body works, how it got to work that way, and how these workings relate to our relatives on other branches of the tree of life, then getting this book is a very good idea. :)

    How did we get here?
  

*by B***B on Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2016*

I saw a review of this book and decided to order it.  It's so fascinating.  Ms. Roberts goes into great detail about the development of the human race and how we share so much ancestry with simple organisms from hundreds of millions of years ago.  As I sit here typing this and using my eyes and brain, I think about the chapters on our brain and our eyes and the incredible development that took place to get us to this point.  I'd like to point out that I'm not finished with this book, just on page 105.  It's not easy reading as the type is a bit small and the vocabulary is sometimes difficult as she talks about specific areas of the body, brain, and eyes, using unfamiliar words for me.  I usually read this book in front of my computer with the online dictionary open in front of me.  That helps me with the pronunciation and the meaning of the words.

    Amazing read. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone!
  

*by K***L on Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2018*

I was assigned this book for an anthropology class I took last semester and I have to say this was one of the coolest books I've ever read. It's steered more toward the anatomical and biological evolution of humans but presents the information in a way that makes it seem so "incredible." Very good read and I would recommend to anyone, even those not in school or studying anthropology.
