  1. Devesh Singh

    An engaging story about the search for our origins. Pattison does a great job balancing science and narrative.

  2. Sanju Nath Pradeep

    The book was informative and well-written, though some of the details got a bit tedious. Overall, a good read for those interested in human evolution.

  3. Aashish Agnihotri

    An okay book; it got repetitive sometimes. The author described the details well. The book provides so much information in one place.

  4. Esha Deswal

    A compelling narrative that brings the world of fossil hunting to life. It had dry spells, but I still recommend it.

  5. Pratyush Pandey

    This book completely changed how I view human evolution. A bit slow at times, but the payoff is worth it.

  6. Kashvi Chhabra

    I was captivated by the Ardi story! The author’s writing style made it easy to understand complex topics. Highly recommend it.

  7. Somnath Malik

    Fossil Men is a dense but rewarding read. Pattison vividly captures the personalities involved.

  8. Juhi Manohar Mahajan

    Loved the behind-the-scenes look at paleoanthropology! The drama was intense. I enjoyed it but felt it could have been shorter.

  9. Arpit Tiwari

    A fascinating account of the Ardi discovery, though sometimes bogged down in scientific jargon. Still a worthwhile read!
