"The author argues that human beings not only shape ecosystems, but are shaped by them. Thus, he writes, while we have pushed the green equilibrium out of balance in many places, making them unsustainable and threatening our own existence, the evolution of our species has given us 'pretty good brains, ' with the ability to understand the problems we have created and the power to solve them. Wills is both a skilled storyteller and a talented photographer and he provides an eye-opening account of the long history of human migrations out of Africa and into Europe, Asia, Australia and the Americas."
--Kirkus Reviews
"[Wills'] book is an engaging mixture of ecologist's travelogue and science exposition, which manages to convey a wide range of important ideas in evolution and ecology in the context of ecosystems around the world, including California, Sri lanka, Thailand, Africa, New Guinea, and more." -- Biological Conservation
"In his latest popular science book, an encompassing work of fresh and realigning perspectives and discoveries enlivened by his wildlife photographs, Wills explores how ecosystems are shaped by evolution and how we are shaped by evolution and the ecosystems we inhabit." --Booklist
