Gray's so called review hardly reviews the book at all, it mostly deals with criticism towards his previous book.Star Lord - 星王 (talk) 17:38, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Pfaff's and Ikenberry's reviews require a subscription.Star Lord - 星王 (talk) 17:56, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Primary source claims presented as facts

The article includes various statements presented as facts even if they are erroneous, such as: "This is because chimps, the genetic ancestors to humans, engage in kin relations based on cooperation" (Chimpanzee shares a distant common ancestor with humans, homo sapiens does not derive from the Pan genus, although both are Hominidae). The article also relies too much on the primary source (the book), thus the resulting text may also include editor original research when interpreting its claims. —PaleoNeonate – 09:08, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
