This from last week’s Times Higher Education. I must say I laughed rather a lot:

It may be an authoritative documentation of the history of man, but that did not stop Homo Britannicus being shelved in the gay and lesbian section of a university library. The mix-up at the University of Manchester tickled the book’s author, Chris Stringer, an expert on human origins at the Natural History Museum in London. He said on 10 April: “It’s very amusing, and I suppose there’s a chance that a gay student with no interest in archeaology might take it off the shelf and be converted to the subject. To be fair, if you google the title it does come up alongside a lot of gay references. It’s that homo word again.”

I would have thought that the book’s subtitle (‘The Incredible Story of Human Life in Britain’) might have given the game away somewhat, but hey ho.
