Human does an excellent job in describing who we are, where we came from, how we behave, and what makes us unique as well as characteristics we share with the other animals. If you want to know anything about yourself and why you do the things you do, this is the book. The breadth of the book is truly amazing. Social studies and biology teachers in particular should check this book out. Our species is truly remarkable in every aspect and we have come a long way since we left the savannas of Africa. The accomplishments of humanity down through history are profiled in Origins. The physical construction of ourselves is explained in the Body section. Mind looks at the working of our brain and how we are able to think, gather information, and share it through the employment of language. The Life Cycle section discusses the stages of existence we all go through from birth to death. The Society section explains how we work together in groups to provide for our basic necessities by producing goods and services as well as how we delegate authority to ensure order and stability. Culture discusses common traditions shared from generation to generation such as religion, clothing styles, language, and science. Peoples looks at all the various ethnic groups from around the world. And finally, the Future section discusses the challenges and opportunities facing us as we move into the new millennium. An excellent volume that is both comprehensive and readable.
