Nice message, misuse/outdated anthropological theory and research

I liked the book overall and I think it’s an important and interesting question to examine but I noticed a lot of environmental determinism and misuse of cultural ecology theories and just generally outdated/out of touch with theories and research in the human environment relationship and our collective human history and evolution. Recommend the book but caution to take the interpretations and evidence they use with a grain of salt as these authors are using anthropological and arch theory and research but are clearly not in touch or experts in these core debates and intellectual history.

Overly complicated

Did not like this book…. Too technical; not sure what the point was except water fasting. Leans heavily toward evolution, not creation. Chef AJ did a great job with narration, but would not recommend.
