For football fans and geeks, this romp through the "ologies" is a superb spoof in which humans evolved their biologically absurd two-legged stance to play football - domed head and flat face for subtle power heading, and flat levered feet with non-opposable big toes for shooting.
Fully illustrated in colour by satirical artist Matt Kenyon, with a Foreword by Irvine Welsh.
