Reader Reviews
This review is from: Introduction to Physical Anthropology (Paperback)
...if you're an academic masochist. I myself had the pleasure of sitting through this entire book for my Anthropology class (yes, I read the entire thing) and it wasn't the most pleasurable experience I've ever had. This book is dry and without even the occasional quasi-sense of humor found in other school text. Speaking as a student, it took a while to absorb all the information, if only because it was so boring. I have to agree with the other reviewers that this book sucks.
