What makes us the most successful animal species inhabiting the Earth today? Breaking away from popular scientific beliefs, the author presents an alternative based on recent, groundbreaking scientific observation. According to Stanford, what made humans unique was meat, or rather, the desire for meat, the eating of meat, the hunting of meat, and the sharing of meat. `With chapters on behavioural ecology, natural history and taphonomy, keeping company with the anthropology and palaeontology, Stanford's book summarises a huge body of evidence in a pleasing, coherent and non-polemical way. It is a rational piece of provocation from a scientist who clearly believes that there is something good at the core of a much-maligned theory.'Adrian Barnett, Biologist, Roehampton Institute, London
