Trade Review"This book is a joy—a provocative, highly entertaining exploration of the roots of our behavior. Zuk dispels the murk and misconceptions about how our sex roles, language, intelligence, even our mental illness came to be, offering a fresh and invigorating view of animal behavior..." -- Jennifer Ackerman, The New York Times bestselling author of The Genius of Birds
"With authority, clarity, and wit, the author guides readers on a revelatory journey into the connected nature of behavior across the tree of life." -- Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, coauthor of Zoobiquity and Wildhood
"...Marlene Zuk uses a light touch to probe heavy questions: What is behavior? How is it related to intelligence? Does domestication make one dumb? The book, sparkling with humor and curiosity, is a pleasure from start to finish." -- Kim Todd, author of Sparrow
