This books should be read more widely. The information is fascinating, really rendering a lot of anthropology, no matter how well done, obsolete because information from DNA, mitochondrial DNA and the Y chromosome of males is so powerful. Anyone who reads this should regard genealogy as a rather lame pursuit, because it covers a few generations and doesn't tell us much.
To be sure, some of the information in this book may go out of date (Neanderthals are now known to have interbred with H. sapiens), but it will mostly last.
