I thoroughly enjoyed this account of the discovery of Homo naledi in South Africa. It was well told, thought-provoking, and entertaining. 🎧

An excellent read! Probably one of if not THE best book on dinosaurs I have ever read. It‘s written in such a way that anyone could pick it up and read it. You don‘t need to be obsessed with dinosaurs like I am to understand it. It flows beautifully from the time before the dinosaurs, through their rise to the top, their reign as the dominant creatures on the planet, to their rather violent demise. Absolutely love this! It was a library ⬇️

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm borrow, but I‘ll definitely be adding it to my own personal library in the future! 1mo

03/150 The author uses a very broad definition of technology in this book. It covers the creation of spears & digging sticks, the use of fire, clothing & shelter, the development of symbolic communication, agriculture, developments in interaction (transportation), the industrial revolution and the rise of digital information technology. So everything man has ever done fall under his heading. It's interesting, but a bit dispersed. 3.25/5

mandarchy Funny, my dad and I were talking about what was considered technology before the digital age. It's Greek for the systemic treatment of art or craft. 2mo

I‘m catching up on reviews from Scarathlon and hadn‘t reviewed this one! I really wanted to review it because, oh what 30+ years did for the uptick in knowledge about dinosaurs. In the late 1980s, I took a science class about dinosaurs in college (liberal arts major looking for an easy science grade—it wasn‘t easy…). The professor did his darnedest to convince us that birds are the surviving dinosaurs. We all laughed. And here it is, a book ⬇️

Texreader about the fact the birds are the living descendants of dinosaurs! Needless to say I had a good chuckle but I also enjoyed “re-learning” what I learned 30+ years ago and then some. Not too scientific at all and very interesting. 4mo
KathyWheeler My husband used to tell me that birds were the descendants of dinosaurs. I laughed, and now, here we are. (edited) 4mo

This book is on its way but I HATE that cover.

I look at it & my mind immediately screams “You put that baby down!!”

Finished this HF while #audiostitching today.
I liked the 1919 storyline and characters a bit more than the 1847 story. Still, it was good and I'll look for more by this author. #LitsyCrafters
