Interesting in parts, but some of Oliver's claims about prehistoric culture are dubious, e.g. he explains the rapid spread of farming by assuming that land would have been inherited according to primogeniture in 5000 BC. and it could bear some fact-checking: phases of the moon are not due to the shadow of the earth (which is only cast on the moon during lunar eclipses, which only happen at full moon).

Interesting in parts, but there's too much waffle (model of car Keiller crashed in 1929 is simply irrelevant) and it could bear some fact-checking: phases of the moon are not due to the shadow of the earth (which is only cast on the moon during lunar eclipses, which only happen at full moon).
