It's hard for a book that is so short to be so sprawling, but Pandora's Seed manages it. Wells touches on a lot of interesting topics but leaves the reader to follow up on them. Even so, as he weaves together topics including anthropology, history, hunter-gatherers, indigenous cultures, population growth, diseases, climate change, evolutionary biology, sustainability, agriculture, evolution, genetics, and the environment, you manage to learn a bit about each. Worth a read.

I felt that the author jumped focus too randomly to make an enjoyable read. However, it had some fascinating facts and insights to share.
