'A superb example of popular science writing' Mail on Sunday 'Rarely does one encounter a book that is readable, informative and beautifully illustrated... a precious discovery' New Scientist

Product Description

From Lucy to Language provides an accessible and up-to-date presentation of the evidence for human evolution: the fossils, artifacts and artwork that paleoanthropologists and archaeologists have discovered and debated during the past century and a half. Produced by a collaboration of scientific, photographic and journalistic talent, this visually stunning and intellectually satisfying volume is valued by professional and armchair anthropologists alike. From Lucy to Language showcases the specimens behind the science of paleoanthropology. The 200 colour illustrations, including many reproduced at actual size, feature the most significant early human skulls and other original fossils and artifacts. THE AUTHORS

5.0 out of 5 stars A definitive photographic guide to human anthropology, 9 Dec 2000
By A Customer
If for nothing else, this book should be bought for its' stunnung photographic record of human evolution from modern humans to the earliest remains of bipedal hominids dating over 4 Million Years. The text in itself is rather concise, reading more like an encyclopaedic account of evolution and identifying key events and developments in the evolutionary process. However, the book identifies clearly current (within the last 2-3 years) thinking on evolution and backs it up with the most complete photographic collection of early remains and associated evidence. The book will appeal more to students of the subject rather than to someone wishing to gain an initial high-level overview of human evolution, but is nevertheless not too heavily pitched towards complex & "in-the-know" terminology that will baffle and confuse. However, it is the photography that makes the publication & is reason alone to buy this publication.
