Manthropology
This book is an in depth look into the history and sciences of manliness and masculinity. Ranging from speed and strength to sex appeal. This book examines how men are today and touches base on their ancestors. Peter McAllister set out to rebut the claim that men today are suffering from femininity and emasculation. He planned to use his skills as a paleoanthropologist and journalist to write a book demonstrating that men today are triumph. The result of a hard-fought evolutionary struggle toward greatness. As you will see, he failed. In nearly every category of manliness, modern men turned out to be not just matched, but bested, by his ancestors. Stung, McAllister embarked on a new mission. If his book couldn’t be a testament to modern male achievement, he decided, it would be a record of his failures.
