Editorial Reviews

Review

"Maybe Newton was right about the thumb [that it was evidence of God's existence], but there is far more to arouse wonder in the hand than he knew, and Dr. Napier indicates its scope with authority and imagination." ― The New York Times Book Review

"[John Napier's] book is deliberately 'not too technical,' light and full of wit. . . . Fingerprints, gestures, nerves, bone, hand hair--all are given attention . . . in this interesting survey." ― Scientific American

"Each fascinating chapter in this book is a conjured mixture of anecdote, entertainment, and instruction." ― Annals of Human Biology
