Manthropology by Peter McAllister Book Summary

Manthropology is the first of its kind. Spanning continents and centuries, it is an in-depth look into the history and science of manliness. From speed and strength, to beauty and sex appeal, to bravado and wit, it examines how man today compares to his masculine ancestors.

Peter McAllister set out to rebut the claim that man today is suffering from feminization and emasculation. He planned to use his skills as a paleoanthropologist and journalist to write a book demonstrating unequivocally that man today is a triumph---the result of a hard-fought evolutionary struggle toward greatness.

As you will see, he failed. In nearly every category of manliness, modern man turned out to be not just matched, but bested, by his ancestors. Stung, McAllister embarked on a new mission. If his book couldn't be a testament to modern male achievement, he decided, it would be a record of his failures.

Manthropology, then, is a globe-spanning tour of the science of masculinity. It kicks off in Ice Age France, where a biomechanical analysis demonstrates that La Ferrassie 2, a Neanderthal woman discovered in the early 1900s, would cream 2004 World Arm Wrestling Federation champion Alexey Voyevoda in an arm wrestle. Then it moves on to medieval Serbia, showing how Slavic guslar poets (who were famously able to repeat a two thousand-line verse after just one hearing) would have destroyed Curtis Jackson, aka 50 Cent, in a battle rap. Finally, it takes the reader to the steaming jungles of modern equatorial Africa, where Aka Pygmy men are such super-dads, they even grow breasts to suckle their children. Now, that's commitment.

For modern man, the results of these investigations aren't always pretty. But in its look at the history of men, Manthropology is unfailingly smart, informative, surprising, and entertaining.

Save your money. Truly one of the worst purchases of my life. This book is neither informative, nor intelligently constructed. He bases his entire book on "facts" gleaned from such reliable sources as: -ancient graffiti found on boulders -here-say-based here-say -official boasts of long dead rulers One is forced to think that the author would regard Kim Jong Il's brainwashing (for example, he claimed to get 6 holes in one during his first golf outing) as facts too. The most reasonable "point" he makes is that people who spend their lives being active and using their muscles are stronger than those who don't. Not very enlightening to, well, anyone. This book is one huge link-bait title. I've learned nothing. Don't waste your money.

Entertaining & humbling. This review of man from our origins to present day form, with all our strengths (or lack thereof, compared to our predecessors), various forms of beauty and sexual prowess is well written. If you like to read episodes of a good story, this is a great read. This author has written a wonderfully entertaining book about us.
