It was kind of biased, but it was okay.

Well, other than stating that egalitarianism is the ONLY way to view the world and that ALL hierarchical thinking is wrong (all primates have a pecking order), this book was quite enjoyable. It would have been nice if the authors had recognized their own prejudices while stating what other people should be like, but one cannot expect humans to not be hypocrites. Other than that, it was pretty good!
