First to recommend
In this book, Hannah Holmes compares herself and the rest of us to other animals. The idea is hilarious! I do it all the time! I have to read this book. There are many conclusions that I have come to as follows:
Men have evolved different fur patterns in different populations. For instance, in some parts of the world some men hardly have any facial hair at all. In some, such as in Eastern and Western Europe, the prevalence seems relatively high.
Humans do things socially in order to quell feelings of killing. Such as singing together, praying together and so on.
Human males are likely to do anything necessary to call attention to themselves (generally young ones), especially if females are watching.
People still hunt deer even though there is a McDonald's on every corner, perhaps because there is still an instinct to forage for food.
I could be full of it, but these are only rough field notes. You all will have to let me know what you think. I'm excited to read the book and read Ms. Holmes' field notes on humanity. (via amazon.com)
