A fun read, as someone interested in anthropology. I enjoyed the structure of the book, interweaving stories with discussion of scientific practice, it absolutely helped to keep me engaged. There is an interesting couple paragraphs about NAGPRA towards the end, which asked for cooperation from Native American tribes and from anthropologists, which was somewhat perplexing.
