Not convinced,

This review is from: Why Us?: How Science Rediscovered the Mystery of Ourselves (Paperback)
I really enjoyed 'The rise and fall of modern medicine' but I was very disappointed by 'Why us?'. This book does not feel objective and it seems to have been written with a missionary agenda. There are obvious flaws in the current understanding of evolution, genetics and the function of the human brain but Le Fanu suggests that these gaps are filled with something mystical that science will never explain. I don't believe him.

Mike's Review.,

This review is from: Why Us?: How Science Rediscovered the Mystery of Ourselves (Hardcover)
This is a first class, thought provoking book. The arguments are clearly and intelligently presented, and backed up by detailed facts and illustrations which clearly show both the historical aspects of the subject and the results of recent developments. The author is no respecter of reputations, and it is a pleasure to see the somewhat arrogant opinions and statements of some pillars of the current scientific establishment questioned. In particular, hard line Darwinists are asked some awkward questions.
Highly recommended.

Answer to Dawkins,
By Bill Darlison (Dublin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Why Us?: How Science Rediscovered the Mystery of Ourselves (Hardcover)
This is probably the most important book I have read in a decade. Le Fanu shows how recent scientific investigations into the genome and into the human brain seriously undermine the certainties of materialist science, and force us to rethink our attitude to long discarded ideas such as the soul. If you want to read a cogent, entertaining, intellectually rigorous answer to Dawkins et al. then this is the book for you.
