Review of “The Ape That Understood the Universe” by Steve Stewart-Williams

I will never look at someone with a flower to their nose the same way again...

To start, I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review from NetGalley.

With that hat out of the way..........

I am not especially well read in the many evolutionary theories of how we became us, and I think that’s where this book shines. You don’t have to be a cultural or psychological evolutionary post-doctorate to understand the concepts. And Mr. Stewart-Williams wit, humor, and style kept me engaged and entertained. Finishing this book really makes me want to dive much deeper into the topic. I’m glad I was able to review and advanced copy of this, as I know that I will surely be purchasing a hard copy.

Just can’t say it enough, but the wit and style of this ranks it probably in my top 5 non-fiction books.
