Can't believe this title is out of print
This was the funniest book I had ever read until I picked up "Dave Barry Slept Here." I still have a copy and re-read it every couple of years. Anyone who took high school science and anthropology classes, let alone college science majors, will be rendered helpless with laughter by this book, again and again and again. The human evolution section should be required material in every anthro class taught at every level.
The "Airplane!" of science sendups
How Houghton-Mifflin let this book go out of print is beyond me. It should've been packaged with a pair of Depends & instructions to put them on before opening–it's that big a threat to sphincter control in the scienceminded. I think the copyright information is straight, but flatly doubt there is another serious word (or picture) in the damn thing. The Geologic Ages table is worth the price–as is the table of "currently understood properties of the quack"–as is the periodic table–-as is The Electromagnetic Spectrum–as is… Hell, the cover drawing of T. Rex getting beaned by an asteroid is worth the price!
