A tongue in cheek way of looking at the way the world has evolved, how social norms were establish and how we lived with it. Visser is an anthropologist who writes from her macro observation of people. The musings in this book were entertaining. And it didn't fail to make me stop for a while and also took an ariel look at the way we are. I got a good laugh out of it too.
