Describes what is currently known about human evolution, loks at the work of anthropologists, and discusses the human traits of consciousness and language

Reviews

Lewin is the co-author, with anthropologist Richard Leakey, of Origins and People of the Lake . Here, starting with the fossil nonhuman primates, he traces human development through the appearance of Homo sapiens and the domestication of plants and animals to the origins of the state and consideration of possible future changes. Not since F. Clark Howell's Early Man (1973), a Time-Life book, has the excitement, controversy, and knowledge about human biological and cultural evolution been so successfully conveyed. With 261 color illustrations, this should be a first recommendation when someone asks for an introduction to anthropology. William S. Dancey, Ohio State Univ., Columbus
