Opinions on Evolving Ourselves By J. Enriquez and S. Gullans

[ScientificMind]

I recently finished listening to the audio-book of Evolving Ourselves, and I really enjoyed it. I have, however, heard that some of what was in that book is somewhat controversial, so, for anyone who has read this book, I am very curious to hear what people more learned than me think of this book

I'm hardly an expert, but this review by Jerry Coyne:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...38a008-b07d-11e4-827f-93f454140e2b_story.html
paints a 'take it with a finch-sized grain of salt' story.

That review nicely summarizes what is wrong with the book in the OP.

The authors’ unconvincing thesis is not exactly helped by their many errors or misstatements about evolutionary theory and research.
