Review of 'Origins' on 'Goodreads'

What ages would I recommend it too? – Twelve and up.

Length? – Several days read.

Characters? – Human kind throughout history.

Setting? – Earth.

Written approximately? – 1977.

Does the story leave questions in the readers mind? – Ready to read more.

Any issues the author (or a more recent publisher) should cover? No.

Short storyline: A history of human kind and archeology as known in the 1970's.

Notes for the reader: While there have been more finds, and few changes in notions, this book covers the past, present, and future in an exciting way. It is amazing how many estimates of the the late 1900's to early 2000's the author guessed correctly.
