Summary: Slippery logic leads to the "Ice Man Inheritance"
Review: I first read this book nearly 10 years ago, and am still amazed at its logical explanation about the aggressive behavior of white Europeans. Since my first reading of it, I have yet to find a more plausible theory about why a small group of nomadic people subsequently known as "whites" maintain such dominance over their women and persons with color. Bradley's book will be denounced by many, pooh-poohed by some, but I would challenge any of these persons to find a more relevant theory on the aggressive behavior of Caucasians. I recommend that it be read at least twice in order to grasp all of its meaning.

Summary: opinions are an open field of collisions.
Review: I've notice only the white viewers are screaming bigotry now look at the kettle calling the pot a bigot lol, please ppl lets stop pretending that skin color was not and is still not a factor, so if white men or being accused of these astrocities then take note, especially were white scholars admit to this by glorifying how different European nationalities conquered different parts of the world especially Black Africa. And no its not a matter of nature over nurture, you see everyone was not a club swinging baphoon lets not keep assuming like a ignoramous that a few findings of old bones of ppls lifestyles speaks for everyone else duh! but hey assuming with very little to go on is the European rationale system lmao! There is a big difference between being civilized and protecting your country from further attacks and being the aggressor who attacks and takes as they please. tsk tsk still in denial, whats next are white ppl going to lie about how they got control over america what a shame so i guess the indians were not the better fighter right? lmao!, more nonsense. Also claiming that everyones condition was primarily influenced by nature over nurture is a unproven claim especially when that had more to do with ones geographical condition which caused the types of different pschological devlepments as it pertains to enviromental survival, so to me this is just another sad cover up from guilt and the truth coming back to slap certain ppl in the face, now if any of the cry babies knew anything about African philosophy or culture then u would know it was nurture over nature indeed the nature of animalistic behavior was denied as shown throughout ancient Egypt and other African related areas to those teachings all the way up to the point of its decline from the western influences who were followers of set the animal or low self the material world lover, next time do the science and cry less.

Summary: A valuable contribution to the discussion
Review: Michael Bradley, as a member of the Caucasian race, has bravely stepped forward with a valuable contribution to the analysis of Caucasian group behavior, or should I say misbehavior, toward people of color. No matter what your political affiliation or race, anyone who engages in a discussion of race relations is in reality examining why people who call themselves white have such a seemingly inherent animosity to people classified as non-white. Mr. Bradley also asks why Caucasian culture has an adversarial relationship to the planet Earth. It is a rare white person who will even admit the existence of the global system of white supremacy, let alone one who will acknowledge that the group mentality of his race is indeed the source of the racism, pollution, and resource depletion that plague the world. As part of the system of white supremacy, whites have developed an entire vocabulary (e.g. "affirmative action," "immigration reform," "civil rights," or calling Egypt part of the "Middle East," thereby removing the nation from Africa) which allows them to talk about race without mentioning any explicit racial terms. That way, anyone who speaks candidly about the core of the race problem - white group behavior- can be accused by white people of preaching anti-white racism. I'm sure some Eurocentric people who are only used to receiving "information" that bolsters the white viewpoint will be shocked by some of the things Bradley says; but Eurocentric people need to be shocked out of their extreme xenophobia. I don't neccesarily agree with some of the conclusions the author reaches but I have to commend him for his honesty. Other books that cover the same subject matter but, in my opinion, do a better job of analysis are: The Isis Papers by Dr. Frances Cress-Welsing and, especially, Yurugu by Marimba Ani. I will conclude by saying that anybody interested in truly addressing the problem of white supremacy should include these three books on their essential reading list.

Summary: EXCELLENT BOOK
Review: THIS BOOK IS FULL OF ALOT OF INTERESTING FACTS AS WELL AS PLAUSIBLE HYPOTHESIS ON HOW THE "CAUCASOID RACE" HAS COME TO DOMINATE THE WORLD THROUGH MILITARY MIGHT, FORCE, RESOURCE RAPE, AGGRESSION AND GENOCIDE. OF COURSE MANY WILL NOT AGREE WITH THE BOOK AND MANY WILL NOT READ IT. BUT IT IS VERY INTERESTING AND IT OFFERS A PERSUASIVE ARGUMENT TO THE EUROCENTRIC BRAINWASHING AND CULTURAL GENOCIDE AGAINST MUCH OF TODAYS HUMANITY. CAUCASOIDS HAVE DOMINATED THE GLOBE FOR OVER 500 YEARS AND THIS BOOK ANSWERS MANY OF THE QUESTIONS AS TO WHY.

Summary: Slippery logic leads to the "Ice Man Inheritance"
Review: This book represents the author's amusing and not-so-scholarly attempt to tie together a series of dubious assumptions to form some very shaky conclusions. The author actually begins by apologizing for his ineptitude: "First, I would like to acknowledge immediately my own limitations of scholarship in preparing the arguments put forward in this book." Hardly a ringing endorsement of one's work. In the last chapter, he admits his theory is, "an explanation with broad circumstantial, if not in-depth support." (Bradley maintains that Caucasians are descended from Neanderthals (another species) and are therefore genetically inferior and responsible for all the world's violence, racism, and sexism because of their primitive nature.) However, you get the feeling that he really doesn't buy his own hypothesis--he leaves plenty of doors open in case he has to duck out of the room. There's a saying in science that extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Since Bradley has plenty of the former and none of the latter, he must run hither and yon looking for evidence to cobble his wobbly theory together, and tosses in everything from extraterrestrials to whales, mediaeval codpieces, the Canadian poet/songwriter Leonard Cohen, muddled Middle East history, the German philosopher Gothe, and World War II encounters with Yeti by Russian troops--a virtual potpourri of 1960s pop culture, and little else.

Summary: Not a serious book
Review: This is not a serious work on anthropology, genetics, human evolution, history or biology. The assertions put forth within it don't hold up to even minimal scrutiny nor can they withstand even modest criticism. In fact, they simply outlandish, and therein lies the appeal of this book.. It will appeal to those who have some kind of bigotry towards whites, but for those who wish a book based on reality, fact, and reason, I suggest looking elsewhere.

Summary: opinions are an open field of collisions.
Review: [...] I was amazed. This guy is not only serious in his convictions; he seems to believe he has single handedly overturned the modern ideas on `race.' This is the kind of book I would have expected to find originally published a hundred years ago, of course with the targets being non-Europeans. Isn't this called racism? Yes, of course it is. So, Mr. Bradley, the races are permanently different? Everything is not only nature over nurture but is also easily discovered by tracing ancestry? All previous and much more thoughtful research has clearly shown that all cultures, or races if you can't get out of that rut, were and are equally prone to what are universal human behaviors. Aggression and violence are not more pronounced in Western Europe, it was simply these westerners who were better able to effect their aggression. I am amazed that this piece of, um, spurious scholarship was published. On second thought I can. I can only hope that only those who seek this kind of [...] will read this, [...], and not a person genuinely interested in history. Especially not someone who comes upon this book early in their explorations of a very interesting area of study. In short, if you have already made up your mind that white men have ruined the world, buy this book and find a companion in your unreasoning conviction. If you have not decided this, don't waste your time.
