5 out of 5 stars Fascinating peek at how to figure out what plants are edible   June 10, 1997
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

One of the best books on development of the`human diet. Fascinating material for anyone who`ever wondered how people decided (for instance) that cassava, a poisonous plant, could be rendered edible by leaching and cooking. Recently reissued as a paperback, retitled`Origins of Human Diet and Medicine.
