"Dalam buku ini, Carl Sagan dan Ann Druyan menulis mengenai bagaimana menjadi sebagaimana adanya sekarang. Dengan humor dan drama, dan dengan memadukan pandangan filsafat dan sains, mereka menunjukkan bahwa banyak ciri penting kita--kesadaran diri, teknologi, ikatan keluarga, ketundukan kepada otoritas, kebencian terhadap yang agak berbeda dari kita, penguasaan wilayah, nalar, dan etika--berakar di asal-usul kita pada masa lalu, dan menunjukkan kekerabatan kita dengan hewan lain. Semua itu merupakan unsur strategi bertahan hidup yang lazim di banyak spesies, tapi sebagiannya dapat menjadi sumber masalah di masyarakat manusia. Sagan dan Druyan percaya pemecahan masalahnya bersifat global tapi optimis umat manusia mampu mencapai solusi itu."

"The study of human origins is one of the most fascinating branches of anthropology. Yet it has rarely been considered by social or cultural anthropologists, who represent the largest subfield of the discipline. In this powerful study Alan Barnard aims to bridge this gap. Barnard argues that social anthropological theory has much to contribute to our understanding of human evolution, including changes in technology, subsistence and exchange, family and kinship, as well as to the study of language, art, ritual and belief. This book places social anthropology in the context of a widely-conceived constellation of anthropological sciences. It incorporates recent findings in many fields, including primate studies, archaeology, linguistics and human genetics. In clear, accessible style Barnard addresses the fundamental questions surrounding the evolution of human society and the prehistory of culture, suggesting a new direction for social anthropology that will open up debate across the discipline as a whole."
