Discovering US is one of those books that you not only want to read but you REALLY want to own!

Who are Humans ? Where do we come from and How do we come to know anything about our ancestoral past? If you have ever been curious about our past and the zig zagging of that path that has brought us to 2022 , then this is the book for you. Author Evan Hadingham has such a wonderful grasp not only of the science but also of the human side of storytelling that he easily and weightlessly carries you from one amazing discovery to the next. And this is also a great gift for that proverbial coffeetable ( if anyone still has them?!) because it easily gives rise to all manner of group discussions about our past present and future. This is on my holiday gift list for sure.
