50 Great Myths of Human Evolution uses common misconceptions to explore basic theory and research in human evolution and strengthen critical thinking skills for lay audiences, listeners, and students.

  • Examines intriguing - yet widely misunderstood - topics, from general ideas about evolution and human origins to the evolution of modern humans and recent trends in the field
  • Describes what fossils, archaeology, and genetics can tell us about human origins
  • Demonstrates the ways in which science adapts and changes over time to incorporate new evidence and better explanations

Includes myths such as: "Humans lived at the same time as dinosaurs"; "Lucy was so small because she was a child"; "Our ancestors have always made fire"; and "There is a strong relationship between brain size and intelligence."

I like to read books on evolution. I have read many, but this is the best book on evolution I've read (listened to). It explains several topics that I had not understood before.
I looked for other Audible books by John Relethford, but this is his only book on Audible. He has several books available from Amazon.
I feel like I have a better understanding of evolution after listening to this book.

Best evolution book I have read.
