Explore the evolving story of humanity through a focused collection of essays on anthropology and archaeology.

Robert Munro assembles foundational studies and expanded notes to trace how erect posture, brain growth, and tool use shaped human history. This edition draws together discussions on fossil evidence, ancient crafts, and the environments that influenced our species’ development.

Examine how standing upright marks a boundary between humans and other animals and drives changes in anatomy and mind.
Follow the arc from crude tools to refined implements, with discussions of flint saws, sickles, and other artifacts.
Learn about prehistoric discoveries like lake-dwellings, bone skates, trepanning, and cranial amulets.
See how archaeology and environment connect to human progress through a comparative lens.

Ideal for readers of natural history and archaeology who want a clear, accessible path into the story of human origins.
