Just in the last three years a flood of new scientific findings, driven by revelations discovered in the human genome, has provided compelling new answers to many long-standing mysteries about our most ancient ancestors, the people who first evolved in Africa and then went on to colonize the whole world. Nicholas Wade weaves this host of news-making findings together for the first time into an intriguing new history of the human story before the dawn of civilization.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This book certainly lived up to my expectations. Wade does his level best to give you a deep understanding of human evolutionary history within one book. For me, the lengthy section on linguistic reconstructions is a bit more than I needed, but I'd rather a science book gave me too much information than too little. Alan Sklar is outstanding as usual.

Epidemiology plays an all-important role in many areas of medicine, from discovering the relationship between tobacco smoking and lung cancer, to documenting the impact of diet, the environment, and exercise on general health, to tracking the origin and spread of new epidemics such as Swine Flu. It is truly a vital field, central to the health of society, but it is often poorly understood, largely due to misrepresentations in the media.

Not the best material for an audio book

What made the experience of listening to Epidemiology the most enjoyable?
This is a unique resource. It's an excellent overview of the science of epidemiology. You will gain a new appreciation of its challenges and benefits to society. The narration is very well done. The book was clearly not conceived to be effective in this medium. You'll hear lots of numbers you won't be able to grasp unless you devote your full attention. If you're driving, some of this will probably blow by you. Also, I wished this covered the history of epidemiology a little more. But overall, this is a serious and fascinating program.
