Early Man

More about the book

How were we transformed from ape-like creatures without tool-making, language ot culture into people of the latter part of the last ice age who, give or take the further progress of technology, were just like ourselves? Covering five million years, this is the story of human evolution. Incorporating fresh fossil discoveries in Africa, new assessments of old finds, the latest genetic developments and fledgling studies on the evolution of the mind, it is a vivid account of our collective past.
