Synopsis

No subject so interests man as man himself; curiosity about his origins is universal. Yet most of the story of man's development through time remains hidden and can only be deciphered from the few clues that scientists laboriously wrest from the grudging earth. In this lovely yet comprehensive introduction to anthropology and paleontology, Sharon and Thomas McKern present as the stars of their cast the prehominids and early men of prehistoric times; the supporting players are the men and women who dig for fossil man.
