A presentation of the evidence for human evolution: the fossils, artefacts and artwork that paleoanthropologists and archaeologists have discovered and debated during the 20th century. Produced by a collaboration of scientific, photographic and journalistic specialists, the book should be interesting to professional and armchair anthropologists alike. It showcases specimens behind the science of paleoanthropology - the illustrations, including many reproduced at actual size, feature the most significant early human skulls and other original fossils and artefacts.
