I picked this up in a airport years ago. I agree it's probably not the best anthropology book (not that I've read a bunch of anthropology books). But it is a very easy book to understand and an easy read which many science books arguably are not. I think that alone makes this a valuable book because it easily delivers the concept of past environmental influence on the evolution of groups. It may not be perfect but it's readable for us normal non-sciency people and that gives us a fighting chance to ask ourselves some important questions about how we see the world.
