In addition to the aforementioned exceptions, some people were cursed by the stars to drink. The results, according to a Spanish source, were ugly: “Once drunk, they would quarrel among themselves, they cuffed one another and fell on the fl oor on top of each other, or else they would go embracing each other.” The page begins with an illustration from the codex Mendoza with the caption "An Aztec Matron enjoys the milk of old age." He applied the “ Test” to his new book, Drink: A Cultural History of Alcohol, and reported that "by happy co-incidence p 99 of Drink is indicative of the style and content of the rest of the book."

Dixon makes a lot of assumptions early on – such as introduction of genetically engineered human sub-species adopted to specific environments and then tries to guess how might have they evolved when left to their own devices. Even though it looks and feels like a nature book, it is a work of pure speculative fiction. He factors in various variable influences such as coming of another ice age, magnetic pole reversal of the planet and human meddling via genetic engineering. As it is suggested on the cover, Dixon aims to predict where evolution will take the human species in the next 5 million years. It is written in the style of nature documentaries, or these classic Zoology/Dinosaur books we all have read as kids. It is not really a novel, as it does not have a cohesive story.
