The Cooking Ape

Even though, I'm sure Wrangham's theory has caused controversy, because most people believe humans were created by a "higher power", God, most of the reviews I found were fairly neutral. In the article I read by Simon Ings, he's acceptable to Wrangham's point of view. He can identify and understand with where Wrangham is coming from. Ing believes that Wrangham does a good job of stating his theory, then giving legitimate reasoning for where his thoughts came from, such as stating how humans got their teeth, jawlines, and eating habits. Ing believes that Wrangham's thoughts are "compelling" and accurate.
