extra credit Prompt #3

Many readers find Wranghams book to have many clever ideas. The problem however is these ideas lack the amount of evidence to make it possible to give a convincing argument. This is the same thing that the reviews I have found have been saying as well. It is just too hard to have enough evidence to prove your point on something that happened such a long time ago. That’s why this piece is more of a persuasive piece as it aims to make you think about the possibility instead of an argument saying that this is what occurred. As far as Wrangham being successful in his persuasiveness I have found mixed reviews a few people have said he did a fantastic job while other claim that it was an ineffective piece because of their views that the human race did not come from apes, hence the battle of evolution vs. Christianity.
