@@susanknight4841 totally agree! This is a recording of cassette edition that I got aged 10 (37 years ago). Daniel Massey is so brimming with life in his reading. Very special for me.
I do have some misgivings about it though as it seems to add phrases or miss them entirely, the phrase stating that Malone was an Irishman and was a sub human was completely made up, He did say subspecies meaning journalist or non scientist but he never said Celtic subspecies. Not to mention that in the book Challenger i think was meant to be Scottish so he himself is also a Celt.
As for George, the arrogant 19th century evolutionist. I've seen the Smithsonian's website. They expect me to believe that although the humans that lived 300,000 years ago were identical to people like me, it took them 200,000 years to figure out how to make a fishing net. Give me a break. Assuming that ancient population had the same percentage of geniuses and idiots as we have now, a person of average intelligence would create a fishing net, in a couple of months. Not a couple of millennia. I can say without hubris that if I had a genuine need, it would take me no more than a couple of months to create a wheel, even if there were no extant examples. Scientists can be a bit goofy with their narratives. They sound more like Disney or some other fantasy, than reality, to me.
Alas, they seemed to work to a cassette length. Agreed, it would have been wonderful to have the entire reading. Though I find the compact style and fine reading is still a pleasure.
This is the best ,Daniel Massey is the best reader iv ever heard
Superb and engaging narrator

Just lol
This narrator is so good I want the unabridged version but after this narration, there's so bad compared to this guy
Skipping chapter 1 is better yet.
Abridged, unfortunately. Sad waste of a fine voice.

Excellent! Thank you 😊
