From Library Journal
Compared with Erik Trinkhaus and Pat Shipman's The Neandertals ( LJ 12/92), which traces the history of Neanderthal discoveries, this book is more concerned with current interpretations of the fossil record. English anthropologists Stringer and Gamble hope to settle the controversy over the Neanderthals' proper branch on humanity's family tree by taking their case to a general audience. They marshall the evidence in favor of the "Out of Africa 2" scenario, contending that Neanderthal populations in Europe and the Middle East were replaced by a second African migration between 130,000 and 50,000 years ago. Neanderthals, therefore, are not directly ancestral to modern humans. The authors make a strong case for their interpretations, but they offer little more than a caricature of competing theories. Still, this is an important and readable book, with many good illustrations. Recommended for academic and public libraries.

Hardbound Small 4to (10.25 inches tall) 247 pages. Appendix, notes, bibliography, index. Description: Includes 183 black and white illustrations (maps, drawings and photo plates). The publisher's blurb reads: ''Today Neanderthal specialists are locked in one of the fiercest debates in modern science. One side, the 'multiregional' school, agues that the Neanderthals and their contemporaries elsewhere evolved semi-independently into modern humans. The other side, the 'out of Africa' school, believes that the Neanderthals were an evolutionary dead end, replaced by fully modern people coming ultimately from Africa. The latter camp is led by Christopher Stringer. Here, he sets out his views for the first time in conjunction with the archaeologist Clive Gamble.'' BINDING/CONDITION: dark brown boards with gilt text and decoration; a Very Good+ book, with a Very Good+ dust jacket. ISBN: 0-500-05070-8. Seller Inventory # 055659
