Kritik
"In 25 well organized chapters, the author brings his nearly four decades of research on the topic ... . The Hadza and Africa's iconic baobab have co-inhabited the savanna for thousands of years. In rich detail, John Rashford's Baobab makes a compelling case for the Hadza-baobab relationship to be highly representative of the dawn of human evolutionary history. ... I encourage readers to order this finely researched volume for their local library." (Robert Voeks, Economic Botany, Vol. 78 (1), 2024)mehr
