Very interesting read. It even showed how some mysteries, such as the Bermuda Triangle, were hoaxes or misinterpretations of data. The book lost the fifth star by claiming that Archeopteryx was a transitional form, when all the writers proved was that it was not a hoax but an authentic fossil.

Archeopteryx could have been a melange, like the platypus, not related to either lizards or birds, but something different - looking like a transtional form, but, being a separate organism in its own right. Show Less
