A simple, brute attack on Darwinism
Written: Aug 28 '02 (Updated Aug 28 '02)
Pros:You got me there. Oh: Great cover!
Cons:Unscientific and speculative. False facts and unappealing.
The Bottom Line: The book is ridiculous and I mean that in a positive way.Avoid at all cost.
I never realized books like this could be conceived, written and published.
It's terrible in every way. Mr. Joseph mixes wrong scientific statements with myths and legends in classic von Dänicken style and relates unrelated events and facts to propose fantastic theories of alien or godlike intervention.
Not only does Mr. Joseph misstate scientific facts like 'Neanderthals were extremely primitive and violent'. This is actually the opposite of the truth.
Furthermore he dismisses the finding of a hybrid child in Spain as wells as the well documented speculation that Neanderthals to some degree were absorbed in to modern man. They live among us; or their genes does. Be sure of that.
The illustrations are numerous but cheap, unclear and the layout of the book is unappealing.
The book is pure nonsense and deserves no attention.
