出版商概要
"In an agile, knowledgeable presentation, the authors contest a popular conception about human evolution: that ancestral hominids were hunters. Hart and Sussman, anthropology professors, think that idea is flimsy. ...To make their case, which eminent paleoanthropologist Ian Tattersall extols in a preface as 'the first comprehensive synthesis of the information available about predation on humans, ' Hart and Sussman marshal both fossils and behavioral studies of living primates. The authors' prose is wryly irreverent, as if intended to keep a lecture class awake and interested. Even readers who instinctively shy away from science would enjoy reading this book."
