I've been watching a lot of Stefan Milo alongside this book and the more I read the more I feel we have been taking a lot of what has been discovered as fact instead of a theory. With new species emerging, such as Homo Luzoensis, it could very well be that they are Denovisans. Also that we take as fact that we evolved from knuckle walkers when we cannot prove that this is the case.

So informative but easily digestible. Absolutely love reading about this topic!

Ahhhh back to Gemmell 😍

I’m disappointed but it started picking up 10 pages ago so I’m hoping it mounts to a decent ending

“I find her voice cold, lazy; it plays with the ears as a cat plays with a caught mouse.” I read this aloud and Hubert replied with “kitty!!!!”

The first page already gave me chill. Can't wait to keep reading :)

Last night I told myself “only a few pages and then I’ll go to sleep”. I’d gone to bed early expecting to get a good 8 hours but instead 10 pages turned into almost 110. UNPUTDOWNABLE! I cried, my stomach flipped and I had to ponder for half an hour afterwards, unable to comprehend what I had just read. It has been a long time since such emotions have been invoked through a book. Incredible!

The main character is a ‘pick-me’ which I dislike but the story is very well executed! Enjoying it so far

I can't find the edition I'm reading on Goodreads but I am 40/443 pages in. Just finishing up the section on Variation under Domestication. Very interesting observations using pigeons as an example! The English used requires 100% of my concentration but that's the beauty of reading a book from 1859!
