Talk:Birthright: The Book of Man

3/11/2006 - Removed reference to the claim that this book mentions fiction as being a peculiarity that only humans possess. I read through the entire book looking for this reference, and couldn't find it, I'm guessing the original author of this page was thinking of another book. I also removed the note that the two encyclopedic references the book makes before every chapter are occassionaly dead wrong. I could not find one instance where a chapter had both the alien and human encyclopedia references where both were wrong.

5-27-06 - "The same or similar themes are the basis for the short story With Friends Like These and The Damned trilogy by Alan Dean Foster - ironically the same author who also wrote the book on which the Alien movies are based." Is there a source for this? I know that Foster wrote the novelization for Alien, but I haven't heard anything regarding his works as being the inspiration for the Alien movies. ---Anon80


 * I apparently mistook the novelization of the movie for the opposite case, I'll change the entry. --Brazzy 15:37, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

6-23-06 - Re-inserted, with correction, the claim that fiction is a peculiarity that only humans possess. The story "The Iron Boot" states that the novel is a literary genre unique to man. -- Jrowh
