I am reading this book :-) jessie
When i first started to read this book i thought that it was going to be pretty boring. Now that I have gotten further into it I am starting to enjoy it and actually appreciate archaeology, even though it's nothing I would like to do. The writer is an archaeologist himself so it is interesting to hear about the research that he has done. I have learned that a lot of the research done on our ancestors is in Kenya and near that area because that is where the first species of homo sapien originally developed. The job takes very much patience and rarely do they find more than a piece of a skull, but their appreciation of the little bone is amazing. I did not realize how many different stages of development human have gone through either. I find it interesting how they find the bones conserved in many places and how they have come to search these specific areas. I also happen to appreciate this book because it backs me up on my own beliefs in evolution.
I'm glad you kept reading. Evolution is definitely an interesting topic. I find various opinions about these subjects quite different. Good job on the summary!!
wow this book was not a very exciting book to read however i did learn alot about archaeology. The writer is and archaeologist and he explains how mostly everything works. the developmet of human beings was an interesting section in the book that i really did like. As i kept reading it made me realize that i never want to become and archaeologist.
When I first looked at the cover of the Origins book, I was a little worried about what exactly I was getting myself into. As I started to read my worries went away. The work of Richard Leakey is quite fascinating with his great journalizing of his fossil discoveries in Kenya and his thinking on what makes us human. One thing I really like about this book was how he would flash back to how it could have been for the early human forms and how it was easy to read and understand.
This book tells of his great discovery of almost an entire skeleton of a boy that was more than 1.5 million years old, which was the greatest discovery of all time. I find it rather ironic that this is the first time I have ever heard of this discovery and how it really had no effect on how people believe. After this discovery he then put to questioning how did we become human, which is a very good question because look at the things we humans are able to do today when millions of years ago out ancestors we barely beginning to do the most basic of present human life. All and all this book really opened my eyes on the creation and evolution of humans and how we became what we are today. I wonder if we will ever know.
Trudy,I agree this book has some new concepts. I really found it fascinating also.
I enjoyed "Origins" because i find archaeology very interesting. I think it is amazing how science today is able to determine so many things concerning the past of the human race by simply studying remains.I also thought that the author's views on human development and evolution were interesting, even though I did not agree with all of them. I particularly enjoyed the portions of the book in which the fossils were being discovered.It was interesting to consider the fact that the fragments of human bones found by the archaeologists were once humans with lives, though very different from our own. "Origins" was an entertaining book that explains many questions concerning the origins of our species and was written in an informative yet creative manner.
Anna,
This book is interesting and gives you insight onto various viewpoints.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book alot. I love history, and anything about where, and how our ancestors came to be. Learning about the first humans and where our species started really fascinates me. Being an archaeoligist would be a very tedious, and aggravating task. They never find exactly what they're looking for, and what they do find doesnt seem like much. For example, a piece of a skull isn't much at all, but with the technology we have today we can figure out the dimensions, and shape, etc. about what that person or thing might have looked like. One other thing i really liked about the book were the flashbacks about what the earliest humans had to go through. It really gave me a sense of what life was like for them. I compared that to what we have to experience, and all though many things were different, there were many that were the same.
Jorie and Anna,
Great insights on the book. It is interesting and even though these books are very old, they have withstood the test of time. Mrs. Cochran
The book “Origins” by Richard Leakey was a pretty good book. There were many things that I liked about this book and that made this book good. I really liked how Richard Leakey journalized his discoveries. I also liked how he would do flash backs so we could understand how early forms might have lived. I also think that it is fascinating that with science they can tell a lot with just part of a bone such as a part of a skull. I also thought that the different blades, pieces for hand axes, and different things that they found were interesting. I learned quite a bit from this book.
Thanks for your input. These books do make you think more deeply about biology!
