Question about Bio 1M03 Textbook
Hi, I'm just wondering if i would need to buy the How Humans Evolved textbook, because i read from the review that this textbook is useless and barely any questions come out in midterm and exam. What do you guys think?


Thanks

Last year several questions came straight from that textbook... but its probably the most dull thing ever written so I don't regret not reading a page.

I had 1M03 with Dr. Stone and he tested stuff directly from the textbook so reading it was kind of mandatory. I don't know if people got away with not reading it but I did recognize questions that were on information from the book.

You should find out if your prof relies on it heavily.

I never bought it and did perfectly fine but I did in depth evolution in high school so I already knew it. Really I found everything you needed was mentioned in lecture.
