L'homme Selon La Science: Son Pass, Son Prsent, Son Avenir; Ou D'o Venons-Nous? Qui Sommes-N... Book

This book does a pretty decent job of introducing the idea that we all are essentially skeletons covered in meat, and also filled with blood and stuff, and basically just piles of organic matter doing our best. Gave some good examples of things that aren't filled with skeletons, for example clay. You can smash a clay ball because it isn't filled with bones, fun fact! It's a cool first look into introducing existence preceding essence, Satre style, for those of us wishing to raise our children with an early and basic sense of anguish. Just wish it had gone a bit into how to face the catastrophic existential crisis you feel boiling up inside you after about year 10 into your adulthood, you know, deep in those bones. As well as the steadily increasing feeling of dread or the unknowable horror that you and your skeleton inside start to feel as you age and realize that your prison of flesh is mortal and yet inescapable, and relentlessly limiting. 4/5 stars.
