Comments on: Evolutionary Biology Geeks: Three must read books for you! https://gregladen.com/blog/2010/07/27/evolutionary-biology-geeks-thr/ Tue, 27 Jul 2010 16:57:39 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.8 By: KBHC https://gregladen.com/blog/2010/07/27/evolutionary-biology-geeks-thr/#comment-520980 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 16:57:39 +0000 http://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2010/07/27/evolutionary-biology-geeks-thr/#comment-520980 That’s funny, I read Murder in the Museum of Man several years back, having no idea any of it was “based” on Harvard MCZ/Anthro folks. I adored the book, but that only makes it more fun! Now I need to pick up the other two volumes.

I appreciated the setting of the book, since the author seemed to have some understanding of academia even as he was caricaturing it. And I loved the voice of Normand. I enjoy voices that are unique and not completely lovable — not in that modern fiction, my-protagonists-always-have-something-hateful-about-them way, but because it was so uncomfortable to read him. He reminded me of a few people I went to college with.

Thanks for mentioning these books!
