    About this ebook

    The human race developed from a complex background. Different types of Homo evolved depending on the area that they lived in. Neanderthals developed in the hotter climates of earth and are adapted best for this climate, and other Homos are best suited for the places they are found the most. After millions of years, Homo sapiens started to expand over the globe, mating and killing the local Homo species until it was Homo sapiens that dominated the earth. This can be seen in those native to different areas of the earth now, who possess around 1-5% of the genes of those Homos from that area.

    Once Homo sapiens were spread around the earth, a variety of changes happened over many thousands of years so they became adapted to finding food and functioning as a society. Homo sapiens moved from the middle of the food chain to the top as they possess a skill no other animal does, the ability to imagine concepts and scenarios. This means that humans can have a common bond with any other person without having met them before just because they believe in the same God or the strength of the tribe.

    Summary Station

    Many great books are released every year and most avid readers know that they may never have time to read all of the books on their list. In today’s world, many people do not get as much time to read as they would like, so it is important to use any reading time wisely. The problem with this is that it can be very difficult to know if a book is worth reading until you have already invested some time into reading it. This is one of the many reasons that Summary Station was created.

      This summary is a waste of time. I don't see resemblance between it and the original book (having already read the book before and wanted to refresh with a summary).
      Don't waste your time reading it.
    • 1/5
      Throw away the evolutionary frauds and lies (i.e. Nebraska Man, Piltdown Man, Peking Man, Tasaday Tribe, Archaeoraptor, Orse Man, Indonesian Man, Ida, Ardi, LUCY, etc., etc.) and evolution doesn't have a fossil leg to stand on.
