Description

If the major outlines of human origins are settled, the search for anthropoid origins remains scientifically in its infancy. We remain fairly ignorant of such basic questions as when, where, how, and why our earliest anthropoid ancestors evolved. Paleontology is one of the few academic disciplines in which field exploration remains a fundamental part of the quest to expand knowledge and understanding. This unique combination of the possibility for personal adventure and intellectual fulfillment is what attracted the author to paleontology in the first place. He hopes to impart a fraction of what he has experienced and learned during these past few years in this book. Winner, Phi Beta Kappa Award in Science and the Howells Prize, Amer. Anthropological Assoc. Ill.
