the glue that connects the fragments

So much scientific and life value in such an entertaining book.
You probably already know part of the facts Lieberman writes about in his book, but he has such a good way of putting the puzzle pieces together and completing the big picture. He tells us how we can strive for better health without condemning those who fail.
one of the best books in the last years I have read/listened to. Bought the paperback right away.

Erhellende und nachdenklich machende Lektüre

Auch wenn mir vieles schon bekannt war, so half mir die Lektüre dieses Buches doch, mein Wissen zu festigen und vor allem: Den Sieg über die niederen Instinkte zu erringen - Wobei das laut Lieberman gar nicht möglich ist. Stattdessen müssen wir unsere Umwelt (und damit letztlich unser Verhalten) so gestalten (lassen), dass sie uns wieder gut bekommt...

Vielschichtig und gut recherchiert, sehr fundiert.

Leider teilweise etwas langatmig und redundant - in einigen Abschnitten benötigt man Durchhaltevermögen, um die gleichen Sachverhalte zum x-ten mal in anderen Worten anzuhören.

Great Book, Great Story, Well Told!

A great book that tells the fascinating story of who we are and how evolution shaped us. A fascinating tour de force of all the trade offs we accepted such as trading endurance for speed and climbing skills when we adopted bipedalism. I really do not want to enumerate much more specific content than to simply say it was an excellent read and as good as the other Lieberman book "Exercised". I highly recommend both of them.

The narrator was excellent too.

Interesting and moving

It is a privilege to have read this book. I enjoyed both the information and the opinions provided by the author about such an awesome topic. The ideas are easy to follow and yet deep and challenging.

I recommend this book

I found this Book very insightful. We all know the common prescriptions of running/being active and avoiding junk foods and too much sugar. This book provides the evolutionary context and makes the why very clear. It thereby provides a strong motivation for acting.

A must read for everybody

Where are we coming from, why are our bodies the way they are and how can we use and nurture them today to be healthy and happy? The book gives insights and answers. Very interestingly written and read. 5 stars +

Very well written and read!

Very informative also for somebody who wants to start a more healthy living and need to understand the nature behind the readons of today's obesity and metabolic syndrome.
In many other ways HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Educative but the "information flow" is too slow

i'm thankful to the author for so detailed, persuasive and interesting book. My only complaint is the book high repetitiveness. Every bit of information is repeated so many times that one thinks of skipping parts. I would be doing that if I were reading a paper copy. Though the repetitiveness is an advantage for the audio format - nothing goes amiss when listening in noisy public transport.
