Thorough in that everything anybody ever said all crammed into one giant post. Not very useful. My list of reviews are those of people who understand the issue, in some cases the top anthropologists working in the area. Occam’s razor list is nothing like balanced; go have a look! It is very biased, going so far as to include enconia that look positive as positive reviews. Occom’s razor has an ax to grind, and it comes through very clearly in the list and the way the list is structured. Perhaps you meant to say “False Balanced.”
The list provided here (above) includes only reviews that are critical of Wade’s book because Wade’s book sucks.
Thanks for the link though!
I see you support the Cultural Marxist witch hunt against Nicholas Wade.
This post essentially amounts to New Creationism:

Sorry, but at the end of the day I must reject New Creationism and side with Darwin & Wade.
I did not get past page three where his main argument to support recent (last few hundred years) rapid genetic change was that women on some island had changed from having (on average) their first babies at the age of 22 from an previous average age of 24. If he starts off that badly why continue? And, by the way, I have no doubt there is a lot of recent genetic change but that is not it. The book is so clearly crap you don’t even need the scientists to tell you so.
