内容上，有关人类演化的科普读物通常都关注stones and bones，不敢在hard evidence之外偏离太远，而本书大胆讲述了故事的另一面——社会和认知演化。写法上，本书没有平铺直叙，而是提出模型、验证模型、修改模型，整本书更像经济学分析，充满图表和运算，而没有一张化石或者遗址照片。全书讨论的核心问题是，在人类演化的五次关键转型中，当时的物种如何化解群体规模和脑容量同步扩大给时间成本造成...内容上，有关人类演化的科普读物通常都关注stones and bones，不敢在hard evidence之外偏离太远，而本书大胆讲述了故事的另一面——社会和认知演化。写法上，本书没有平铺直叙，而是提出模型、验证模型、修改模型，整本书更像经济学分析，充满图表和运算，而没有一张化石或者遗址照片。全书讨论的核心问题是，在人类演化的五次关键转型中，当时的物种如何化解群体规模和脑容量同步扩大给时间成本造成的压力。尽管那些精确到百分之几点几的运算对于复原实际情况有多大意义值得怀疑，但这些模型的意义或许不在于完美还原现实，而在于把理论量化，使人看清楚各种变量之间的关系，而且动态的讨论远胜于静态的灌输。从这个角度看，各演化阶段的时间预算模型能否自圆其说倒在其次，作者对模型的解读和调整才是本书的精华所在。(展开)
