"This book is written more for laypeople than scientists, and that's perfect for me. The author spends a lot of time discussing the history of the search for ancient humans before getting too deep into the story of Teilhard, which provides the reader with a reference base. In all, a quick, pretty easy read that could even teach you something!"
"The author waits WAY too long to get to the interesting parts of the story. The background on evolution is necessary, but he really sacrifices the main character's story, and the story of "what happened to the Peking Man fossils?" by devoting half the book to "background". Could've been much better."
"This is a must read for anyone questioning faith and science in combination. Aczel captures the mystery of evolution and answers many of the questions which cause religious followers to doubt the origin of all species on earth. Readers will find that Teillhard de Chardin found multiple ways in which these two seemingly different fields can co-exist.
I found it a fascinating read and a text which accurately and adequately describes the science of evolution. An amazing read!"
