Kindred: Neanderthal Life, Love, Death and Art | Rebecca Wragg Sykes

pick

Forget everything you think you know about Neanderthals - this book is likely to prove you wrong! (Will explain the racism warning in comments).

#pop23 #justtextoncover #atyin52books23 #interracialrelationship #naturalitsybingo2023 #humanecology

It's extremely likely we all have a bit of Neanderthal DNA in us!

@Cinfhen @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB @Ruthiella @AllDebooks @Bluebird @LeeRHarry @RaeLovesToRead

jenniferw88 The book (& author) is not itself racist, but it does discuss racist ideas towards the end. Basically Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens > Africans etc. It would be a good book for white supremacists to read. 1y

Cinfhen Wow!!! You‘ve piqued my interest!!!!! 1y

jenniferw88 @Cinfhen I'd recommend a #borrownotbuy for you. 1y

jenniferw88 @Cinfhen I don't know if it'll be available for you or not, but this is currently in the Audible 2 for 1 sale in the UK - you might be able to snag it as your "freebie" if there's one you definitely want in the offer! 1y

Cinfhen I need to check the US Audible sale, thanks for the heads up xxxx 1y

Charles Darwin: Victorian Mythmaker | A.N. Wilson

so-so

#atyin52books23 @BarbaraBB #relatedtoscience

Darwin visited the Tierra del Fuego archipelago whilst on HMS Beagle, which does #argentina for #readingtheamericas2023 @Librarybelle

#doublespin for February read! @TheAromaofBooks

I won't be reading Darwin's autobiography after reading this - it's apparently full of inaccuracies.

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 1y

Librarybelle Interesting to note about Darwin‘s autobiography! 1y

jenniferw88 @Librarybelle basically he doesn't credit any of his predecessors/contemporaries - including his own grandfather (!) - on helping him come up with the theory of evolution. It's 'MY theory this' & 'MY theory that'. He does acknowledge that both Alfred Russel Wallace & he did come up with the idea independently of each other though, so that's something! 😂 @AllDebooks 1y

AllDebooks @jenniferw88 I don't suppose there was any way he could deny ARW's work😅 1y

Librarybelle Wow! Totally did not know that! 1y

BarbaraBB Interesting! 1y
