Title: The Human Story
Author: Christopher Sloan
Publisher: National Geographic Society
79 pages

The Human Story is a book about how some scientists think humans came into this world. There are various chapters in this book such as: Of Bones and Genes, Our Next of Kin, Out of Africa, Becoming Modern and Being Human Today. These chapters were pretty boring.

If you enjoy reading something like a text book this might keep your interest. I would not recommend this book. It was pretty hard to read. To understand it you would need to be in 8th grade and above. I haven't read anything similar to this book. (March, 2004)
